About Me

A short one of a kind Egyptian dude. And yes Egyptians are more than 'Dessert, Pyramids and Camels' stereotyped image, so I am a pre-graduate Architecture student and have had my IGCSE's done. One of the things that thrills me the most is making movies and travelling aside from making jokes and laughter while I'm around, I love to spread happiness cause its a gift and a characteristic that is built in me since I was little. More about me that you need to know is that most of the time I'm hungry yet I don't get fat.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have never wanted to be stuck in one spot for a long time that's when I knew that wandering around places and revealing what is around me will cure this issue which grew year after year that resulted that I wanted to travel when given the opportunity. There is no greater teacher in life other than being put out of your comfort zone that's when you discover the real YOU. Seeking for what you don't know and always eager to find out like cultures for me is something priceless to me or to any backpacker there is.

Interests

Earth without 'art' is just 'eh' that's my motto, art has taken and is currently taking a big role in my life either in its beauty or in its conceptual path. Makes me wonder and when I'm taking about art let's not forget the art around us made by god that make us go deep and deeper into the secrets of our blue planet.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm open to any kind of Music, not sure where to begin as long as I can remember my pah when we were on road trips sets classical mood of hard rock bands like AC-DC, Metallica, Iron maiden, Queen, Deep purple and even Yngwie Malmsteen. That's considered my childhood memories of music years passed by I became into ambient or indie rock kind of fan for bands like Edward sharpe and the magnetic zeros, fleet foxes and others....

When it comes to films there's tons really not kiddin cause It's my passion, my escape from reality and my cheapest kind of drugs. In its fantasy, laughter, drama or realism. From the classics of like Singing in the rain, American Psycho and der himmel über berlin to modern time movies Moonlight, La La Land and Victoria that's really a glimpse of what I admire.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Look I'm amazing without doing nothing :p 'just kiddin' ummm, one of the things is that I conquered the second highest peeked mountain in Egypt for a sum of three times till that moment. Other thing is that I volunteered for a Muslim school in Bangkok, Thailand last summer which was an experience like no other. Acted in trailers for annual event in extracurricular club in my Uni.

Teach, Learn, Share

Since I volunteered in Thailand I found out that I can teach things that I admire like 'how to Egyptianize you' it is really a thing that I do teaching and spreading the 'Arabic and English language' as hard as I can, communicating and thinking creatively.

What I'm open to learn is unknown cultures and other skills that help me be a
better person.

I'm here to share my experiences in life, travelling, real and pure Egyptian culture and the most crucial ones is smiles and laughter.
