About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live in harmony with myself and the world, enjoy life, love, friendship and my lovely best friend (Tyghryk, the Cat)))) Improve the languages which I am still a beginner: in French, Arabic, Dutch )

ABOUT ME

...I lived in Cairo for 8 years, in this strange but amazing city, with a unique culture, folklore, behave... breaking the rules and enjoying my time @work and with my friends...like a weird night dream or life in a fog, miracle but I did love it...ma3llesh.
For the last 1.5 years, I have been trying to adapt in Amsterdam due to the work- and family-related relocation. Doing better and better every day, though, cannot say I am in a big love with the country yet!

PHILOSOPHY

Fake it until you make it!

If you are in the game just for a money, you have a problem!

"The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, make them." (George Bernard Shaw).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
