ABOUT ME

Hii !!!

my name is Hegazy, born & raised in Cairo and i love my city ;]

First things first, on previous trips people always asked me wether I lived on a Pyramid (I don't) & wether I went to school by Camel (Would've been cool once, I guess)

Now, I believe in trying NEW STUFF & getting out of bubbly comfort zones. I believe in PEACE, in love, and in HELPING. Most, I believe in People. It's all about people. I get angry at cities built for cars & less for people (Cairo), I ride a bike, I babble

i am simple, energetic, open-minded, independent; i like to eat, enjoy good drinks, riding a bike, the smell of the grass, the madness of big city life

What else? Sunny person, maybe?

PHILOSOPHY

leave zone of comfort...
People first

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
