About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Travel the world before im 35 :) to meet different people and prove that we are only ONE and its beautiful to be different cause it makes the world a place of variety and choices :) looking fwd to meel everyone in this journey :)
ABOUT ME
I come from a diversified background which adds a lot of richness and tolerance to my character, Mother from Christian family, Father from Muslim family, lived in Europe for 12 years..mainly in Paris - France, born in the Czech Republic.. ive been someone who really feels that nationalities and passports are just a way of describing us... just like adjectives.. while in reality.. its incredible how Human beings are all similar in many aspects.. and of course there are some differences which in my opinion should be enjoyed rather than being a cause of rejection.. like think about the similarities.. think about a "SMILE"... isnt a wonderful thing to do.. and creates the same emotional feelings universally? or think about "TEARS".. isnt also the same? .. think about "MOTHER"... i think there isnt nothing more similar and universal than the role, feelings, and behavior of a mother across the world.. while the differences being it Music... Food.. Clothes.. can be really enjoyed! it gives the world options.. like today i feel like eating Sushi.. tmw i wanna have some steak... weekend is time for some Falafel ;) .. and so on.. i am a person who believes in the spirit of I AM WHO WE ARE which is something i learned from my work and would like to reflect it on the world.
PHILOSOPHY
I went to a conference this year, expecting it to be similar to all the boring meetings one attend in his life.. yet i learned something that i would love to call it my personal philosophy.. which is called UBUNTU.. it is an African philosophy.. u can search it on youtube and watch the Mandela Videos.. it is simply "I AM.. WHO WE ARE" .. and by this it shows how much we should act in societies..or communities.. great one and makes us think of the similarities rather than the differences.. let People get closer and more togetherness in this world of today is very much needed
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Its simple...
i basically participate by doing the following:
1. I offer a couch in the following locations: Cairo, Bahrain, and Dubai - currently i can offer a couch in Istanbul too but till May 2009 cause afterwards i leave this lovely city and move back to Bahrain, so if anyone wants to explore any of the above mentioned places i would be more than happy to offer my couch.
2. Teaching Egyptian Arabic.. if u r interested in foreign languages, i would like to learn your language in exchange of teaching you my native language.
3. Cultural Exchange about Egypt, i can offer music and movies with english explanations of what they mean and take u through the Egyptian culture in several meetings.
