About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Planning the trip to Düsseldorf in two weeks time:)

ABOUT ME

I was born in 1980, I am open minded, and love to learn new things, visit new places and meet new people. I am funny, free-spirited but orderly, spontaneous yet deliberate, disciplined but laid-back.. (or at least I think so)

PHILOSOPHY

Knowledge is power
Power corrupts
Study hard
Be evil

Just kidding:)

Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you gonna get

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Trying to be a considered host and guest...also doing my best to inform my guests as best as possible about their time in Germany.

Despite being called Frankfurt-Hahn Airport, RYANAIRs Frankfurt-Hahn Airport is nowhere near Frankfurt, it actually about 100km away from Franfurt city, so you have to take a bus. For details check here

To travel Germany by train, this side may be helpful

A cheap way to get places is car pooling, a good place to start looking is this German website:

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, I didn't exactly do it, it was more done to me, but it most certainly amazed me! During my first time in Egypt, I was 12 years old, and with a travel group of about 15 people (including my Mum); we were at a bazaar when a guy about the age of my father walked up to me and kissed my square on the mouth before anyone could react! I was shocked beyond words... and simply wanted to go home! But I did visit Egypt again, and I think it is one of the most beautiful and fascinating countries.
