Currently, living in Germany but originally from Alexandria, Egypt. I am in Grad School. My favorite pastimes are reading, music, chess, hiking and dancing (I discovered recently that I enjoy myself immensely when I dance); also really like traveling. Music-wise my taste is versatile ranging from Jazz and Blues to Classical Music but the majority of songs that I like tends to be 60-70 pop music.

I write short stories but nothing big, just putting ideas on paper and imitating writers who are better than I am; used to work as a Graphic Designer and would take any chance to diverge the conversation into that direction.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
