My life has been pretty obscure. I'm half Egyptian, half Brazilian, born in Manchester and raised all over the place. Having been surrounded by so many cultures I like to think I can find some common ground with pretty much anyone I meet. I'm extremely open minded and easy to get along with.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm spending the most part of 2015-2016 exploring Australasia and New Zealand with my best friend Leo, we're both keen to do as much as possible for as little as possible. That's where couch surfing comes in...

Interests

Making music (playing guitar or drums), keeping fit, mountain/rock climbing, cooking, travelling, reading comics & the good stuff on Netflix.

Music, Movies, and Books

My music taste is eclectic - Good Rap (J5, Wu Tang), Chilled vibes (Moderat, Massive Attack, Aim), Jazz/Blues (GoGo Penguin, Seasick Steve)
But if I had to pick one, I would always come back to fast and heavy.
Biffy Clyro, System of a Down, Hundred Reasons, Rage against the Machine, Brand New, Reuben, it goes on.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Recently I Climbed Mount Ngauruhoe in NZ. Easily the most physically challenging thing I've done, it was dangerous, it was tough, but the view from the top made it all worth it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'll tell you about my travels round the world. I also ran the largest TEDx talk in Europe. I have stories from astronauts, futurists and nobel prize winners.
