CURRENT MISSION

See the world, meet people from every culture and learn as many languages as humanly possible

ABOUT ME

I'm outgoing and I love meeting new people. I like travelling and I hope someday I'll have been to every country at least once. I'm currently working at a consulting company in Munich.
I am half German, half Egyptian. I was born and raised (for the most part) in Cairo, Egypt, but I moved to Germany for a while when I was younger and have studied in Aachen near Cologne for the last few years. I lived in Milan, Italy for a while and worked in Hamburg for half a year. I've also worked for a while in Alabama as well as in Cairo and am currently living in Munich. That should provide some info about me.

PHILOSOPHY

"The history of life contains long periods of boredom and short periods of terror." I'm hoping to reverse this so that life is in constant movement and exciting.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am more then happy to host anyone whenever my living situation allows it. I am planning on travelling as much as I can and the occasional couch would be a great assist in that regard.

COUCHSURFING
I've hosted a bunch of great couchsurfers while living in the states and had some great couchsurfing experiences. I always enjoy meeting new people.

Interests

I like doing sports (soccer, jogging, squash, tennis), good food and wine, music (live music), reading and interesting conversations.
I like to go out and have fun but usually in the bigger cities. Haven't had good experiences in smaller cities though.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I drove by car from Egypt to Germany (through Tunisia, Spain, France, etc.) once, which I think is a cool thing to do and I hope next time I'll circle the other way around.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think I can cook other than that I think most of my knowledge is pretty specific. If you are interested in learning "Thermodynamics" or "Mechanics", I'm definitely the guy for that, although I hope I won't have to do that while travelling.
