Ever since I was young, I have been fascinated by faraway countries and traveling. I started taking photographs and publishing them on the internet in 2006. Quickly, magazines and newspapers from all over the world, like Geo, Nat Geo, Lonely Planet Magazine, etc. began using my work for illustrations on North Korea, Papua New Guinea and more.

In my pictures and travel stories, I offer a positive and benevolent gaze of the countries I visit, often unknown by the public.

Algeria was not a tourist country as for a long time it was dangerous to visit it; nowadays, the place is safe and offers incredible diversity. Soon the future destination for influencers!

    It's an ethnic/religious tradition of the Mozabite people. Married women wear the white covering and leave just one eye exposed. i'm not sure where that tradition comes from, though, but apparently they take pride in wearing it to honour their community and husbands.

    Do they constantly sweep the road? Can't imagine the sand stays off it for long, that looks super tidy
