AIESEC Surprise

I had no idea where they were taking me, who is waiting for me, where I will stay or what I will find. All what I wanted is to sleep in bed. In taxi I couldn't see much at night but I tried to remember the places and names of places and people.


The taxi stopped, we start walking in neighborhood, it is so quiet and fancy. I was asking for close restaurant to eat but they were ignoring me. we arrived to house, it looks amazing. What I was not expecting is other people waiting for me in the house. My first reaction was ooh no I want to rest. But after I opened the door and saw candles and balloons. It was so romantic, lovely and sweet. I forget all the pain and tiredness, also they surprised me with some gifts and motivational quotes. Without forgetting the amazing dinner.


After they all left, I sit down drinked water and told myself it worth it. I wasn't expecting anything like this from strange people. I had many bad situation with close people that made me lose hope in statingers, I couldn't imagine that those people, strainge, never meet will do something like this for me.

I was eating and thinking about this moment. I couldn't eat much because I was so tired. I took a quick look at the house's windows to see the view and where I'm living. I went to sleep with a big smile.

Thank you AIESEC TACAPES for this moment, you made me feel alive again.

Traditional wedding in south of Tunisia

After one week here in Tunisia. I realized that at this time of the year weather you can see four seasons in one day. I get lost trying to wear something for the whole day. I look to weather app on my phone each morning try to customize on weather and for how long I will stay out. As I have one week here, I can say that I still don't know much about Gabes. I heard some names about places that I have to visit such as Chenini, Matemata, Gsour in mednine and many many more. With much excitement and motivation I was waiting for any opportunity to visit those places. It was weekend I had nothing to do. After a long walk in gabes with Omar. His friend invites us to wedding. I accept to the invitation of wedding in Bouchama of two brothers ( Houssem & Oussama). Bouchama, is not so far. Who lives there has old traditional way for wedding and life in general. The wedding there is for 3 days. I attended the first and second day of wedding. The first day is all about dancing and ...

Good friend

Days pass by and each day was more exciting than the previous day. In the middle of my journey, I was able to see all visit many places, meet many people students, business men, young and old. One morning I was walking as usual to work. Life had giving me such an amazing opportunity to meet a special people, a good person. I was a bit sick when I met him because I tried every food possible. He offered a ride. I initiate the talk by introducing myself. Then, my room mate and finally this amazing person introduce himself. The ride was not that long to talk about everything. I gave him my business card but didn't expect him to call me at all. After an hour, He added me to facebook and ask me when can we meet and continue our talk. As much as I was surprise as much as I was excited to meet him again. We agreed to meet in evening. I think I was talking too much and fast. But we understand each others from different angle, because of my little background on business I had such a pl...

Walking in Gabes

Walking is the best joyful moments you will have when you travel. I meet doctors, business mens, youth entrepreneur which I'm grateful for their kindness. Still in contact with them till today.  I'm the kind of person that remember roads, have graphical memory and I trust my Instincts to lead me as I'm walking. So, It's easy for me to tell what road to take to reach my destination, just by seeing a fragment of image or from name of street or even from taxi. Because taxi drivers always tried to take an easy way. Sometimes it's risky but HEY it's life.  I discover a lot of lovely places such as this beautiful work from AIESEC Global Volunteer.  I have been lost sometimes but I always continue my walk without worrying or afraid. I always expect the best from people without been stupid and putting myself in bad situations.   I really recommend walking because you will have no idea how much you will be amazed by the people, views, traditions and c...
