Hello,

First of all, thank you for taking the time to visit my profile.

Long story short, originally I am from Alexandria, Egypt. I do enjoy travelling, exploring new places and meeting nice people.

My main interests are food in general, cooking, films/documentaries and history. I do also find scientific topics amazing, I am always curious about how things function/work.

CS for me is brilliant as it provides the mean to know/meet locals from the place you are visiting or people with quasi-like mindset, whom will take your adventure to another level. If I message you, then believe me, I have read your profile throughly, find you an amiable person and there is something in connection.

My current mission/cycle is pretty simple, work, work, unplug, travel, explore, socialize, learn from other people experiences and their stories, discover, know thyself (the matrix fans will relate), develop, work, work, unplug...🔄

I can summarize my simple humble philosophy in the following line, from my all time favorite film,
-There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet up with nice outgoing people and having an outstanding cultural exchange experience.

Books, not so much lately, I used to read Shakespeare plays though.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Snorkeling with a sizable ray fish nearby in the Red sea.

- Renovating/Building flat roofs for needy families houses in remote villages in northern Egypt.

-Spent three nights in a boat in a huge lake, in the middle of no where, sleeping under clear open sky, where you have a view of the stars as in a planetarium, without noise or light distortion, without cellphone network coverage!. Which gives you alot of time to think about everything.

What I Can Share with Hosts
