About Me

Travel is my passion. I started traveling in 2011 and haven’t stopped since then. The world is my bucket list. I want to go to every city in every country, and I want to have real friends everywhere.

I am open-minded and love to learn about different cultures and share information about mine.

I am a foodie. I love street food, and like to taste local food around the world. I also love to recreate foreign recipes at home to remind me of my travels. And of course I love to share Egyptian recipes if you are interested.

I love experiencing new stuff and learning new skills. I am always up to a new adventure.

I am a firm believer in getting lost during traveling. It is a great part of the experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people with different backgrounds to share our different perspectives on life, share ideas and get to know about different cultures.

Also, I am so interested in living like a local while traveling, tasting local food and going to places and doing activities that you wouldn’t find on any travel guide.

Finally, I really believe that I can learn something new from every single person I get to meet or interact with, no matter his/her age or background.
