Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is the best platform where a one can feel connected to others all over the world and find the best representatives of a certain place to guide and host them in their city . Also, Couchsurfing will help in cutting traveling expenses and using them in a more useful way such as visiting extra places !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most impressive life changing decision I have ever done was when I decided to put an end for my overweight misery . For more than 21 years I was considered as an obese till June 2015 when I declared the end of this era by starting my weight losing journey , the trophy of this journey was losing more than 65 kg in just a year and half !! . During this journey I learnt a lot about self discipline , motivation , strength and will . It was a journey to find my key of success in life in how I can lead myself to achieve what I want . Really , it is all about the journey never the destination !

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach others the key to success by giving them advice on how to set a strategy , realistic plan and attainable goals . Moreover , I can teach Arabic , English , Engineering related subjects and the ancient Egyptian history .

I can share with other my experience in losing weight and help them in creating their own everlasting experience . Furthermore , I can share with them some traditional Egyptian food.

As long we are alive , we are learning . I want to learn about others' life experiences , cultures and countries .

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share with the hosts Egyptian souvenirs , handcrafts , food and books about the ancient Egyptian civilization .
For sure , the hosts are deeply welcome in my place in Egypt where I can take them for sightseeing tour , safari , hiking and camping . Finally , I can share with them my in engineering and provide my assistance if required .
