CURRENT MISSION

Still meeting people with different culture to be more open-minded about the huge world around us

ABOUT ME

I am an open-minded person. I love travelling to see how people live in other countries but also to meet different kind of living and to know more about the others culture.
Since I was a child I've wanted to visit other countries...I have the dream to go to the Jordan desert...Do it!!! Waouhhh a child dream becoming true (teardrops in my cheeks) I have still a lot of dreams!!!

PHILOSOPHY

Try to be open-minded...and keep to be yourself and always being respectufl!
Sharing...sharing to fight ignorance and fear.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I travel a lot for my job but now more from Marseilles (where I am living with my best friend --> the little prince) to Nancy (my native town, where I have my job partners).
I want to offer my couch to any couchsurfer who wants to discover the wonderful mediteranean sea through Marseilles!!! If I have not too much work I will cook you some specialities but BE CAREFUL, the little prince and I where living in a house which can be define like the little Algeria in Marseilles (so algerian food almost all the time in menu...)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have received some CS members we enjoyed parties and we had some fun!
I am waiting to try by myself to be the CS this time...so news next step ;o)

Interests

As you can imagine after reading my profile..I like travelling, meeting new people, sharing and discussing about almost eveything. So if you come to visit us with a speciality from your country it will be the beginning of our first discussion.
I like arabic calligraphy which I used to practice, cooking. When the wind is not too strong I'm riding in sailboat with friends and i like sports in general.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Petra in Jordan is definetly an amazing place (you have to see it at least once in your life).
In Jordan, I drank a coffee and smoked a water pipe with the footh in the Red Sea seeing the lights of Israel!
In Jordan, I jumped into the pool in a private party in a fifth stars hotel.
In French Polynesia, I Slept in a small island, just surrounding by the ocean murmur.
In Algeria, I crossed a member of Front Islamic du Salut (extremist party in Ageria) while I was walking in the mountain of Algeria.
In France (marseilles) I always drink a mint tea in my terrace admiring the sunset.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm able to teach some cook specialities and talk about the french and the algerian cultures...during hours. I do tell stories (I have a predisposed name). I will teach you how to do a true mint tea or a Couscous! I do have some experiences with Tahitian dance, italian food...We can give a chance to do an arabic calligraphy.
