CURRENT MISSION

Uniquely add to my personal growth as a young woman.

ABOUT ME

Born in Egypt, raised in Nashville, Tennessee, and currently in Chattanooga, TN pursuing a Master's of Business Administration . I got the travel bug from studying abroad in Chile for a semester, where my travels inspired me to be who I am today. I crave adventures and new explorations. Meeting new people and hearing their stories is what I enjoy the most, you never know what you can learn from asking someone about their story, after all, isn't life just a whole bunch of stories? Aside from traveling, I am passionate about mentoring and inspiring others from low socioeconomic backgrounds to pursue their dream and to exceed their potential. Uplifting and lightening up that "aha" moment in them is the most rewarding experience I have ever been apart of. In addition to all of the above, I love entrepreneurship and I am working on my natural and organic cosmetics and skin care products which should be launching soon!

PHILOSOPHY

"The empowered woman is powerful beyond measure and beautiful beyond description." -Steve Maraboli

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I could rent out a AirBnB but what's the fun in that! I want to meet others that are genuinely open to meeting new people and care to share their culture as I found that this is the best way to really immerse yourself. It is more fun to be around locals that like to go out with you, share a meal with you, have conversations with you, or give you tips on where to explore. They also tell you about the hole in the wall places! I don't care to be your average "tourist," I care to be part of your environment, culture, and lifestyle because I understand that travel is the best form of connecting to those different and similar to you. So I look forward to meeting you!
