Born in Egypt, but spent most of my life in California - Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, and San Diego. I'm inspired to travel with a major curiosity for exploring the world and meeting people with different stories, backgrounds, and perspectives. I love music, the outdoors, food, adventures, cultures, deep thinkers, creativity, and learning new things. I recently quit my corporate job and left my familiar life in California to pursue a dream lifestyle of traveling the world. After 10 months of touring the world I am still left completely stunned at the amazing places, people and experiences I come across on a daily basis. I'm constantly evolving through the ever-changing environment around me in ways I could've never imagined. This has definitely been the best decision I ever made as I'm living out the best moments of my life!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd love to meet new people (don't we all?) from all different walks of life. Your ethnicity, age, gender, beliefs and background are not relevant here - I would love to meet and be inspired by you regardless! I really love learning about local culture, trying new foods, getting to know the history/language, and sharing life experience. I'm open to staying with hosts, meet-up's, and up for doing anything fun/adventurous!

Interests

I have too many interests. Traveling the world with no pre-set itinerary has opened me up to learning more about myself and what I enjoy doing. More than anything, I enjoy insightful conversations, gaining new perspectives from others, and creating experiences with awesome people from all over the world!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is one of my favorite things in life... therefore I naturally love almost all genres! I like movies, but I'm not an avid movie lover so it's hard to pick favorites. However as far as books, I like - Choose Yourself, Positive Intelligence, 4-Hour-Workweek, Of Mice and Men, The Alchemist, Third Circle Theory, and Lord of the Flies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Riding a motorcycle through the entire country of Vietnam. Quitting my corporate job to travel the world 😎
