in my 4th year in dentistry school, living in Cairo, Egypt. the travel bug hit me after my first internship in 2013 in China. from that point on, travelling and meeting new people was my number one priority. i spend all my academic year searching and planning my next trip. for me travelling is 50% place - 50% people. i love sharing and hearing new stories more than anything, i feel like it's the true bliss of travelling, to get to know someone with completely different background and mindset. a quote that perfectly summarizes my mindset is "The world is book and those who don't travel read only one page" -St. Augustine

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i mostly use hostels in my travels because it gives me an opportunity to meet all kinds of different people. but this year i want to actually meet people and get to know them rather than just meeting people and deciding where the best place to party at (which is still a fun thing to do btw)

Interests
