Overview
About Me
I was born and raised in Egypt but currently living in Stockholm, Sweden pursuing my master's degree. I studied medicine and worked in Cairo before deciding to shift my focus more into my passion for entrepreneurship.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love exploring new cities especially around Europe and the best way to do that is through meeting and having locals assisting you and Couchsurfing does exactly that.
Music, Movies, and Books
Harry Potter is definitely on the list of favorite books, I believe this series changed how I think about the world while growing up.
I like movies with a twist like Memento.
My music taste varies according to my mood and thus it is difficult to select a 'favorite' genre. However, I love music in general and most of the time you'll find me having my headphones on and listening to something new.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Roadtrip through Germany, Luxomerborg, France, Belgium and back hitting 9 cities in a week while sleeping in the car and driving the nights away.
Oh and meeting penguins :D
Teach, Learn, Share
I studied medicine and worked as a doctor for over a year but now I have made a shift into business and entrepreneurship.
I love history and learning and discussing historical events especially in medieval and recent European and middle eastern history.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Having lived on both sides of the mediterranean sea, on lots of occasions with friends in Europe I find myself answering questions about the Middle East and the differences in culture and attitudes.
