Why I'm on Couchsurfing
As a host: I'd love to meet new people and help them get around here in Egypt. As a guest: I think the best way to actually see a country is through its locals. Besides, to be honest, couchsurfing will help me save money and therefore travel the world :D :D
Music, Movies, and Books
Music: -- As I said all types of music; like really all types except for metalic maybe. Movies: - hmmm, I think I like thrillers and horror movies :D so I would say World War Z, The Conjuring, and many movies for Denzel Washington and Tom Hanks. Books: -- رسالة الخروج لفشير It is a novel that discusses the Egyptian Revolution. I love it big time.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
