CURRENT MISSION

Travel the world and find the missing link.

ABOUT ME

I am excited in general. I love books and films, and the idea of exploring the world. I love meeting intelligent people. I am fascinated with history and I believe it is ridiculous not to use it as a guide for the present and future. I can't really talk much about myself simply because I don't understand myself very well. But I do know I derive pleasure from the simplest of things.
Animals make me happy, I love them without question and their beauty is amazing to me...so much that even the old, limp, lame, half blind stray male cat is a source of endless beauty.

PHILOSOPHY

Chocolate is the answer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Meeting people. I live with several people and don't have a couch, but I'd love to meet you for coffee and tell you all about Egypt...or just talk about the latest films/books.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Meeting people from all over the world for Coffee. Some were great brief but memorable encounters, others lasted and metamorphosed into a solid friendship.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived for 8 months in the desert where I restructured my existence and celebrated with a scuba diving finale.

It's very hard to answer this because I can be fascinated with a baby tortoise eating lettuce, or a cat just sitting on a fence watching the world...and something like looking at a mountain wouldn't move me in the slightest...nevertheless, someone who has climbed a mountain would endlessly fascinate me.
