Hey everyone! I’m Abdo, born in a small village in Egypt, and now on an incredible journey across the world! After spending 4 amazing months studying Software Engineering in the USA, I got accepted into two awesome internships. Now, I’m exploring Russia and soon heading to Dubai and then Singapore to dive into Southeast Asia.

The journey has been full of challenges, but each one has pushed me further. Moving from my small village to Cairo and then traveling to the US was life-changing. I’ve worked hard, balancing studies with a restaurant job to fuel my travel dreams and support my family back home. Now, I’m on the move again, chasing new opportunities and experiences.

My ultimate dream? To become a cinema director and tell stories that inspire others. By 30, I hope to have explored every corner of the world, meeting new people and learning from each adventure. I’m all about moving forward, no matter how tough the road is.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m here for the adventure! Couchsurfing isn’t just about finding a place to stay—it’s about meeting awesome people, diving into different cultures, and seeing the world through a local’s eyes. I love sharing stories, swapping life experiences, and making real connections wherever I go. Whether it’s exploring a new city or just having a good conversation, I’m all about creating those unforgettable moments. Let’s hang out, explore, and make some amazing memories together!

Music, Movies, and Books

I’m absolutely addicted to cinema and watching movies—it’s like my escape and inspiration rolled into one. So far, I’ve watched around 400 films, and each one has left its mark on me. Some of my all-time favorites are Cinema Paradiso (for its pure love of film), Amadeus (the genius of creativity), Dangal (for its heart and grit), The Godfather (a masterpiece of storytelling), Interstellar (mind-blowing visuals and ideas), and The Perks of Being a Wallflower (for its beautiful take on life and friendship). Movies are more than just entertainment to me—they’re a way to see the world through a thousand different lenses.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I made a Facebook post that went viral, and became the game-changer that helped me smash through huge challenges and make it to the USA. That one moment flipped everything—doors I never imagined swung wide open! In just 4 months, I've lived in the US, had an epic 4-day adventure in New York City, explored Russia, and now exploring Asia—all for free. It's been a wild ride, and I'm loving every second of it!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I can show you the ropes when it comes to coding, engineering, or give you a little taste of Egyptian culture. And if you’re into movies, I’ve got a bunch of cool recommendations to share.

Learn: I’m always up for learning something new—whether it’s a language, a new perspective, or anything creative. I’m especially excited to learn more about filmmaking and the art behind it.

Share: I love trading travel stories, sharing my journey from a small village in Egypt to the US, and having real talks about movies, tech, or just life in general. Let’s connect and see where the conversation goes!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’ve got killer movie recs, a wide range of music genres to explore, and I’m always up-to-date with European league soccer. I can also share some wild historic and cultural stories, along with a taste of authentic Egyptian food. And if you’re into tech, we can geek out together. Let’s hang out, share experiences, and have an unforgettable time!
