I am currently doing my master's in Nano-science and Nano-technology at KU Leuven. May be it sounds a bit geeky, but I am fun person. Don't worry! :D
Before that, I worked as an Application Engineer at National Instruments.

I lived most of my life in Egypt, but I stayed for one year in Los Angeles, California where I studied at UCLA on exchange.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like traveling a lot and meeting locals of where I am going. I have couchsurfed in New York, Washington DC and Boston, and I have hosted couchsurfers in Los Angeles, and it was an amazing experience whether you are the host or the guest. You never feel the place you are traveling to unless you stay with locals. It is an amazing way to learn about other people's cultures as well.
