Hi! I’m Mina Hanna from Alexandria, Egypt. I’m a humanitarian worker with experience working for international NGOs in Egypt, Greece, and Lebanon. Currently, I’m pursuing my MA at the University of Bradford in the UK.

I’m passionate about sports like football, volleyball, and swimming, and I enjoy activities that get my adrenaline pumping—whether it’s horseback riding, paragliding, hiking, or camping in the middle of nowhere. I used to be a scout for over 10 years, so I love being outdoors and connecting with nature. Life has a way of surprising us with the best adventures when we least expect them, so I’m always up for going with the flow and trying something new.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because, for me, traveling is not just about visiting new places—it's about immersing myself in the culture and connecting with the people who make each place unique. Meeting locals allows me to discover the hidden gems and underground spots that truly define a city. I believe the real adventure lies in these authentic experiences, not just in visiting fancy tourist spots that can be found anywhere. It’s all about the people and the connections that turn a trip into something unforgettable.
