I'm a risk-taking introvert; this usually translates into awkward social situations but I have managed to make many good friends, so I guess it's all good in the end.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in kindness and also the demise of capitalism won't hurt

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Since I live with my parents it's hard to host people for their privacy. However, I'd be more than happy to show people around Cairo. I love exploring Cairo, it's beautiful and messy.
