Hey there! I'm Abanoub, but most of my friends call me El Masalangy. I'm originally from the heart of Cairo, Egypt—and still happily living here. I’m a laid-back, open-minded guy who’s always curious to meet new people, share experiences, and discover the beauty of different cultures.

I love good conversations, especially when they’re paired with laughter, stories, or a cup of strong Egyptian tea. Whether it’s a deep chat about life or just swapping travel tips, I enjoy connecting with people from all walks of life.

Kindness, respect, and cultural exchange are values I truly believe in. I think the world becomes a better place when we open our homes and hearts to one another. I'm also happy to help travelers get a taste of real local life in Cairo—from hidden gems to street food favorites.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I believe Couchsurfing is about so much more than just a place to sleep—it's about meaningful connections and genuine cultural exchange. I love experiencing new places through the eyes of locals and hearing the stories that make each city unique. I'm here to meet new friends, share memorable moments, and hopefully return the favor by hosting when I can.
