well, I was raised in Luven in Belgium then grew up in Mansoura in Egypt. Afterwards I moved to Cairo and married there then I worked as a concept design architect in Doha, Qatar. Right now I am living in Milan in Italy to get a masters degree.

I like food, traveling, buildings with stories (I mean stories to tell not floors of course :D), silence, photography, music, movies and East Asia.

I hate politics (even though and for some reasons I have good knowledge in socio-politics), malls, spinach, children, pretension and mobile phones.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

there is three main reasons; the friends, the stories and the budget; I am not into acquaintances I prefer having friends that I really know something about and had at least one real meaningful discussion and I can have that using CS moreover I am not interested in visiting beautiful cities or buildings rather than getting to know the stories of people living there and their cultural characteristics, may be their preferences in trivial things or some funny accidents in particular places. the other thing is that saving some money from the accommodation category would give me the ability to travel more and visit different places and meet more people.
