About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am into meeting and discovering new people. I just finished my Master's degree in Montpellier (south of France) and just started a new job in Geneva!
ABOUT ME

I am a half French half Egyptian. I finished my Master's degree and am now working in pharmaco-vigilance in Geneva. I love music and any well performed art. I spent years living all around the world (mostly Kuwait and Thailand) while growing up and now can't spend too much time without traveling.
I'd like to learn a bit more about cooking and would be happy to show you what I picked up here and there,

PHILOSOPHY

Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.
Knowledge is power, power is freedom.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet interesting people wherever they may be, and wherever I might go ! Even if they end up on my couch !

My family has always had its doors open to new people, now I can do it on my own.

I am now working in Geneva and ready to host people again in my new apartment at the Genevan border!
