ABOUT ME

Loyal, funny, cultured, with a passion for travel and making friends around the globe.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live. I'm a Classical Liberal at heart. I believe in individual liberties, freedom of speech and creativity. I hope I can contribute to establishing this philosophy in the realms of economics, politics, and public life in my country Egypt. I co-write a blog on Classical Liberalism in Arabic libraliyya.org and ainelaql.com

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed in Paris in Christmas 2010It was a wonderful experience. In Nov 2012, I stayed in a hotel but met with two wonderful Viennese girls who showed me around the city and were a great company. I did the same thing in Rome where a very friendly local took me on a 4-hour walking tour around the city. I'm still friends with the three girls and the guy I met through CS and we try to keep in touch as much as possible. Hence, I am back to try it again in other beautiful European city.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I haven't lived my "OH" moment yet!

Teach, Learn, Share

Always strive to help others both emotionally, spiritually, and career wise. I've tutored many friends to get through their math and econ classes that they dread. Would love to meet more colorful people and learn something new from everyone. I believe we each have something positive to contribute to life and the enrichment of other people.
