Hello! I'm Mohamed El Baroudi, but you can call me "Baroudi" for short.

I'm an Egyptian, and Muslim. I studied civil engineering 👷‍♂️ and have a keen interest in Business Development. 👔

I'm an easygoing, friendly, and sociable person who can easily integrate into different environments. However, I also value my alone time.

I enjoy talking with nice, funny, talkative, humble, and kind people. 💙

I believe I strike a good balance between being conservative and open-minded, and I'm not judgmental. 😌

🟢 In my spare time, I enjoy reading, taking online business courses, playing chess and video games, and watching movies or series.

🔴 I don't drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes, eat pork or use drugs. Though I haven't yet reached the healthy lifestyle I aim for, I'm continuously working on it.

🌍 When visiting other cities, I love connecting with locals and discovering hidden gems off the beaten path. While I enjoy seeing the "standard" tourist spots, I believe experiencing a place with locals makes it truly special.

I'm planning to visit Frankfurt, Germany in October 2024 to study a Business Development program at the Frankfurt School of Finance and Management. I hope to see you then 😄

Looking forward to connecting!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To practice my languages and meet other Couchsurfers to exchange stories and do cool activities.

I believe that every interaction will be valuable and enriching. Meeting new people is always a great experience for me. I’m eager to learn about different cultures, countries, and languages, and to make friends all over the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

🎵 I enjoy listening to Egyptian singers, though you may not recognize them. Generally, I like pop and rap music.

🎞️ When it comes to movies, I prefer films that carry a noble message and those about super-intelligent characters. I also enjoy watching anime. Some of my favorite movies include Sherlock Holmes, Knives Out, and Murder on the Orient Express.

📖 As for books, I mostly read business books like Revenue Architecture by Jacco van der Kooij. However, I was captivated by an Egyptian novel series called The Impossible Man, which I consider the Egyptian version of James Bond, but way better.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I offer free mentorship sessions and training for fresh graduates to help them build successful careers in business development.

Additionally, I can teach you Arabic with an Egyptian accent, which is one of the easiest and coolest accents in the Arab world.

What I Can Share with Hosts
