Born and raised in Bay Area, California from Egyptian and Moroccan roots. Finished school at San Jose State University and then moved to Dubai. After many years of living the corporate routine as a Digital Marketing Consultant, I decided to get out of the 9-5 job and moved to Morocco. Now I work on my own time from anywhere in the world and enjoy life one day at a time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling around the world and meeting new and interesting people from different cultures and backgrounds allowed me to meet and make great friends. It also breaks down and clears up any previous stereotypes, assumptions, and opinions that you may have had.

To meet, get to know, and learn from different people around the world and to also give them a chance to see how beautiful Morocco is.
