AbdeslamI was born in the city of Chefchaouen in Morocco and was trained as a teacher of English, but unfortunately never found a position to work as a teacher.I am, with Angela and Fokko, one of the organisers of this chain course 'Las Otras Orillas'. I am also the president of the Association des Guides de Tourisme in Chefchaouen and member of the National Federation of Guides, the founder of the association Rif Al Andalous in Chefchaouen and a founding member of the ADL association. I am also the author of a touristic guide/booklet on Chefchaouen. I am very active in developing cultural programs between different cultures and civilisations.
