~ Don't be the person who blames others or makes excuses. One of the most important keys to success is having the discipline to do what you know you should do even when you don't feel like doing it--and those daily decisions often involve taking responsibility for your own choices and actions. Remember that your actions do affect other people, so always be careful with what you say and do. ~

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love surfing and hosting!!

I also am trying to become more active in meet-ups. It's hard working crazy hours though.

It is awesome to be able to show people my town and let them sample different parts of it from the food, culture, music, and the people.

Music, Movies, and Books

BOOKS: I love fantasy. I have an amazing ability to completely lose myself in whatever I am reading. I enjoy Nora Roberts, I love Anne Rice, Anne McCaffrey, Stephenie Meyer, Phillip Pullman(The Golden Compass Trilogy), Christopher Paolini (Eragon & Eldest), and just generally anything the involves a mystical plot line. I occasionally read Stephen King when I can get past the first few chapters... his stuff normally starts out sooooo slow.

MOVIES: As far as movies go, I generally lean the same direction as books. With the added ingredient of Drama. I love The Illusionist and The Prestige. I enjoy action flicks, Die Hard, Armageddon, The Rock, The Net. I'm not a huge comedy fan... though I will indulge on occasion when there is nothing else to watch and I'm bored. I love cartoons and watch Disney movies faithfully... Bedknobs and Broomsticks is still a favorite. My most recent favorites are The Spiderwick Chronicles and Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium.

MUSIC: I am NOT a Christian Music fan and I will not listen to anything I cannot understand due to the amount of screaming involved. I am generally not a huge rap fan either. I enjoy current jazz (Corinne Bailey Rae), Blues/Soul(Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald, Fiona Apple, Bill Withers) Alternative(Tori Amos, Flyleaf, Audioslave, Pearl Jam, Nickelback, ) Folk Rock (DMB, K's Choice, Blind Melon, Damien Rice, Jack's Mannequin) Classic Rock (bob marley, Pink Floyd, The Doors, CCR, etc.)Some Metal... Some Country... and what I call chick music... Pink, Joan Osbourne, Tristania, The Veronicas. I also like Opera and Musicals. As you can tell my house is NEVER quiet. I don't operate well without Music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travel across my Country alone at the age of 26. It's the most amazing thing I had done

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach:
salsa dancing, country dancing, cooking some Egyptian / meals (although I'm pretty horrible at it), science information especially about the beach. Life in Cairo and at the beach. And supposedly I give a pretty good tour of a city.

Learn: There's so many things, I'm willing to learn almost anything you can teach me. (Especially new languages and ways to say Cheers! In other languages!)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Laughter and maybe something from home. I can also share Egyptian Country Music. :)

We can share the experience.
