My name is Mahmoud Darwish, I live in Egypt, I am currently working as a software engineer and doing my master degree in computer science. I love reading, snorkeling, and playing football.

I have a lot of friends from different cultures, different countries, different religions and different races. I believe that what we have in common is much more than our differences and we should respect our differences. I do believe that world would be a great place if we could focus on what unites us rather than what divides.

I have zero references now as I am still new member and for everything there is a first time :)

My Favorite Quotes :-
The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.
You have to take risks. We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I am willing to help travelers when they visit my country through providing tips or having dinner together or hosting for males only and maximum for one person. I am also here to find an easy way to connect to new people from different countries who would be able to help me during my stay in their countries.

音乐、电影和书籍

I like reading and I believe that a reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. I like paulo coelho books, I enjoyed reading most of his books like the alchemist, the winner stands alone, 11 minutes, the warrior of light & veronica decides to die. I like Anton checkhov, I have read most of his short stories, I like his story "ward number 6. I have read for other authors like albert camus [The Stranger], steven covey [7 Habbits], Spencer Johnson [ Who Moved My Cheese ] and others.

my favorite movie is pursuit of happiness, I enjoy watching it. I usually watch it when i feel down or when I feel i want to recharge my energy towards achieving my goals. I like drama and biography movies.

my favorite singer is frank Sinatra, I like most of his songs but my favorite songs are my way, strangers in the night, fly me to the moon and others. I like andrea bocelli. I like louis armstrong when he is singing " what a wonderful world ". I like celine dion and other singers but I feel so attached to old songs especially Sinatra songs.
