About Me

I've been volunteering for over 5 years with Resala, one of the biggest organizations in the Middle East. I've traveled in many places all over Egypt and had some amazing experience.

I'm a fast self learner, I've read alot about many fields as I believe that everything I learn will come in handy someday.

I also believe there’s a gap between what we read in books & what actually happens in real life, that’s why I never felt theoretical study was enough for an engineer. My goal is to benefit from every opportunity to learn more and one day, create more.

I'm also passionate about teaching & volunteering in general, that's why I always like to share everything I learn with others.

I love kids and cats, especially the cute ones.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a great way to make friends with locals & explore the true beauty of the cities.

I'm planning a trip this week across Europe after a conference I'm attending in Amsterdam. and I really want to make the most out of it.

Can't accept guest at the moment because I'm living with my family.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In my 5 years of volunteering, there are many amazing things I was lucky to be a part of. Specially building roofs for people and connecting water to entire villages ... the happiness in their eyes is beyond words, it really affects you.
