An Egyptian Dutch human who is very interested in people, countries, cultures, languages and animals.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people from different countries than the one I grew up in. How other people in different countries in the world do things very differently than how I do it here is very fascinating to me! Learning the culture, language, walking in their shoe, seeing their country through their eyes as a local is my main reason why I'm here.
I'd also be very happy hosting you (whenever I can) and showing you around (in my city or any city I have been to as well), teaching you a few words from the languages I speak, share my music, help (street) animals together (if you're interested), we can also go for a night out/car ride or maybe to club. There are many things to be done and especially with people you meet for the first time :)
There's this certain beauty where you don't know anything about the person in front of you and can't wait to get to know them better, almost to a personal level if possible!
Sometimes a stranger could end up knowing more about you than a friend you have known for years! Sometimes this stranger could have the ears to listen to you for hours while your friends and family couldn't! There's some beauty about meeting someone for the first time that cannot be explained in a few words/sentences!

Interests

I would trade my soul anytime for a day in an animal shelter, a night in a bar/club, hiking, learning a new language, or exploring secret spots in different cities and counties.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went to local dogs shelter.
Tried the hot air ballon in Luxor (despite my extreme fear of heights).

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm highly interested in languages and tend to pick up languages fast. I speak 3 languages and could help you with any of them if you wish.
Otherwise, I can share my music with you, tell stories about places I have been to, help you cook (in case you like to cook, though I don't cook myself), workout together, explore off the beaten track areas (I love finding secret spots that people usually overlook) and many other things!
