I am originally from the north of Egypt where the Nile river meets the Mediterranean sea, my home town is called Ras El Bar, as you can imagine it’s a beautiful city surrounded by water and full of palm trees and cats. Later I moved to Cairo when it was university time, of course it’s a huge city, it was fun exploring all the historical parts of Cairo from different eras and build my network there. After finishing my studies, I moved to Tallinn, Estonia where I did master’s and started my career, been 5 years living in Tallinn 🇪🇪

About my hobbies: I love traveling, hiking, cycling, reading, volleyball, padel, pool, surfing, chess and recently I am into cooking and trying out new recipes.

Cats are my favorite pets 🐈‍⬛

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting new people and learning from them, getting to know their culture and ideas. Knowing different people from different parts of the world feels like belonging to all of these parts.
