Marie Amgad, 20 years old and soon to be 21 from Egypt. I’m a political science student with a minor in economics, will graduate this year from University Paris 1 Sorbonne and the next year from Cairo University so I have a double license.
I am trilingual (Arabic, English and French) and looking forward to learn two new ones.
I’ve been a scout member (Girl Guides) for 6 years now, and so I love going on adventures, exploring new places, going mountain climbing, hiking and camping.
One day I wish to complete traveling every single country in the world.
I am currently in Paris for a semester abroad. And it has been so good so far, being independent and having the time to do new things is truly a privilege.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe Couchsurfing is an ideal thing to do in order to dive deeper into awesome cultures and to learn a bit more than people who stay in hotels.
