***Thanks so much to all the awesome couchsurfers who offered to host me all over my last trip in Central America after seeing my public trip. I didn't have the time to reply to everybody yet since I received 200ish invitations, but I promise I will! I could not make it with CSurfing but we will meet one day for sure !!***

Hello everybody =)
Welcome to my "page" ! I'm a fresh member on CS.
First of all, let me introduce myself ! My name is Nermine, which is actually an egyptian name. I'm originally from Egypt, but I grew up in France where I got all my education. My hometown is in Paris. I 'm studying medicine and I'm now performing internships in hospitals abroad.

Just came back from a 3-months placement in Vietnam. My next one-year internship will be in US and I'm planning to move to Dallas, Texas starting from September 2015.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting new people and sharing good time/memories with them, as well as new interests, culture or ways of life.
(Some philosophy) To sum up my thinking : Life is made up of meetings and partings. People come into your life everyday, you say good morning, you say good evening, some stay for a few minutes, some stay for a few months, some a year, others a whole lifetime. No matter who it is, life is made up of special moments with special people which make it worth living. (ok that's enough for philosophy time =) )

While I'm on travel : I like travelling solo, that gives you the opportunity to make unexpected meetings. I would love to meet people in the places I'll visit, and go around in the city and/or hang out together.

While I'm in Paris : I like to have people around me. But my work is time consuming, so may be I won't always have the time to go around in the city with you during the day but I will be pleased to go out for dinner or drinking, or party in the evening.
NB : I'm not accepting guests right now because I'm in Asia for a few months. But no problem when I'll be back to Paris;)

Interests

Traveling is my passion, just following medicine and sciences (ok a little more boring I guess ! ).
I like adventure !! Changing place, meeting new people randomly, sharing good time and memories, laughing, discovering new cultures,laughing again, having fun, enjoying sunshine, trying new activities , experimenting different ways of life, living life at 1000 miles per hour !! (ok I'm also a little bit lazy sometimes ;) )
I love wide open natural spaces, trekking, hiking, climbing mountains.... diving and sky-diving as well (and I'm currently taking lessons for that).

Teach, Learn, Share

I think that everybody can teach, learn and share whatever is your old, culture or interests.
I'm open-minded and curious by nature, so I'm interested in almost everything, (ok except football, I admit ^^) especially in discovering others cultures, customs, ways of life and sharing this with people.
If you are interested in medicine, pharmacology, or sciences in general (not sure that many people are actually ^^), I'll be happy to share my passion with you.
Of course I can teach you some french or Egyptian (only if you are nice !! joking of course =)
