About Me

CURRENT MISSION

stand out from the crowd

ABOUT ME

Dads work meant I grew up travelling all over the world. Still like to travel whenever I can. Always try to experience different cultures. The only way to see a foreign country is to hang out with the locals and do what they do, so you can get a feel of the place. I absolutely hate professional guided tours, they're extremely fake.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to show people around in Egypt, whether it be Alexandria or Cairo. Take them to places off the beaten track, where they can experience the real Egypt, not just camels and pyramids (though you shouldn't those of course, no trip here is complete without them!)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None so far but some friends are into it and said its great. Looking forward to it.
