I'm Mahmoud, 26-year old Egyptian guy. I have been living in Italy for almost 4 years now, in 3 different cities. Currently I am a PhD student in the university of Pisa.

That being said, I strongly believe that name, age, origin, occupation,.. say very little, if anything at all, about you. Ideas and beliefs are far more accurate.

I believe in justice. I love it when things have order and logic. I believe good music is therapeutic. I also have to admit that I like to have things under control, probably too much. I believe that in some situations it is better to be prepared for everything, I end up thinking too much. I may have lots of insecurities but I believe that we all do, we're all idiots that pretend to know what we're doing when in fact we haven't the slightest idea. I could go on for a long time, but you got the hang of it.
