About Me

It's hard to talk about myself, but I can simply call myself an explorer. I am exploring the world and myself. I dreamed to be an engineer for so long and after graduating from the biggest engineering faculty in Egypt I found out that it doesn't suit me.

I made a career shift and worked as a digital marketer, I started with freelancing and worked in one of the top companies in Egypt for a year but I discovered that I am not made to work at a desk. So I quit my job and started a 6 months travel around the world (Turkey, Georgia, USA, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Bolivia, Argentina and Brazil).

It all started with a short travel with my brother to Lebanon at the begining of 2016, and everything changed here, I found what I am looking for, I loved seeing new places, new people with new cultures.
After that I traveled to Istanbul and to 10 cities in UK, couchsurfed, hitchhiked and found myself happy getting closer to people and enjoying humanity.

I tried airbnb and couchsurfing and decided to continue with couchsurfing as anyone hosting people is interested in talking and making friends with his host, while in airbnb most people do it for money. So I am here in couchsurfing to discover the world, meet people from different cultures, make friends from every spot in the globe and discover myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am passionate about travelling. Discovering new cultures and talking to new people with different experiences.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love to read books and watch movies & series that help me understand the world more and live the life of people, experience their feelings and problems.
To me, a book or a movie is a gate to live another life under different circumstances.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went backpacking around the UK: London, Southampton, Isle of weight, Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, Glen Nevis, Ben Nevis, Inverness, Edinburgh and back to London again.
Couchsurfed in 5 cities and hitch-hiked 4 times, knew more about the people there and hiked the highest mountain in UK: Ben Nevis.
