Hello! I'm an Egyptian Fulbright Scholar at SIUE, Illinois. I teach Arabic as a second language, and host cultural events on campus whenever I can.

I was born and raised in Alexandria, Egypt right by the Mediterranean. I'm used to big cities, but have found myself enjoying the slow, suburban life in America for the past 6 months.

Would love to meet up for coffee and culture anywhere in the St. Louis area.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I love traveling and meeting new people from all over the world. I'm a story-teller, but I enjoy listening to what other people have to say as well.

Many a time have locals shown me great hospitality when I was visiting their country, and I would like to pay it forward now that I have a place of my own!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Slept at the foot of a mountain in the Western Desert in February with nothing but a fleece throw.
I was wildly unprepared for the adventure, but the view of the Milky Way 100% made up for the brutal cold!

教，学，和分享

If you're interested, I can probably teach you almost any kind of handicraft! Egyptian food is a good second option.

I'd love to learn new recipes, and skills, too!

Warm company, good conversations, and lots and lots of interesting stories!
