ABOUT ME

My name is Abdelrahman, but I go by Abdul since very few can actually pronounce my name. I was born and raised in Cairo, Egypt then moved to South Africa to finish high school. Currently, I live in NY where I go to school at University of Rochester and studying financial economics and entrepreneurship. I enjoy traveling, reading, going out, binge watching Netflix shows, craft beer, coffee and camping. I am not too big on sports, but I run and work out regularly.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I travel, I like staying with locals and enjoying the place's culture. I think Couchsurfing does just that.
