CURRENT MISSION

To live life full of hopes, success, disappointments, joy, sorrow, and ... hummm live my life fully.

ABOUT ME

I am an Egyptian, we love to laugh and love being sarcastic, that's my excuse :P

Life is short so I'm trying to live it fully and meet as many people as I can :)

PHILOSOPHY

Life is full of wonders, and we are here to be surprised all the time and enjoy these wonders. Most of the time we trade that with more socially accepted life, going to university, work, getting married and raising kids. All that is great, but we do have to keep exploring around and get ourselves surprised every now and then :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

5 years ago, I started changing my address quite often and I'd always love to meet some new interesting people

Interests

Reading, Walking, Painting, Dancing, watching movies, attending live concerts is something I need to survive. I am also that person who would start conversations with random people, smiles to strangers, fights corrupted policemen and takes down dictators, and of course chasing white butterflies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We made a revolution, all together, you know that feeling you get when you are part of the crowd that fight corruption!! The sense of home, that you are ready to sacrifice your life just for what you believe in. Egypt gave us loads of bullshit, still giving us crap, but there in Tahrir square, we knew the meaning of being alive for a cause and to share a dream with millions of people around you, we also learnt that life is not as romantic nor idealistic as we thought and in any battle against corruption you gotta lose something.
