About Me

I'm well travelled, well educated, easy going and fun guy, I like to explore as many places as I could meet people from all over the globe and enjoy having conversations with people from different cultures and different backgrounds.

I just moved to Australia after living in New Zealand for 8 years coming from Egypt before that so bit of a journey for me.

I believe everyone has a story to tell and we all gain life experiences by sharing these stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love to meet new people, from same and different cultures, like to learn about other cultures and hopefully visit each and every single one of them one day.

I want to meet local people from the countries I visit as it enriches the experience and in some countries it is not easy to find English speaking locals.

I also love to meet travellers to enjoy the country we are in also listen to their stories about the countries they have been to.

Interests

I enjoy seeing all the culture places in a new country that I visit, yet I guess the most fun I have on my trips is meeting both local people and travellers, that makes the most of the experience for me.

Going to food markets, watching buskers and outdoor music, seeing people in their own culture and wearing their traditional cloth is a massive enjoyment.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to most sorts of Music, I like anything with acoustic guitar, I like rock music as well but more towards classic rock and alternative.

I watch a lot of movies so can't say which are my favourites, but anything with Tom Hanks or Denzel Washington will be in my favourite list for sure.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I would say maybe moving out of Egypt, I left Egypt 7 years ago to New Zealand which is an amazing country.

Maybe Sky diving also done diving in the great barrier reef.

I was trained to be an Olympic athlete but that a whole different story :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe my life story has a bit of some learned lessons and experiences whether on the personal level or work level.

I think lots to learn, whether its different languages, Guitar playing, so many things.

I like to share my life experience, journey and back ground.

I can share my cultural knowledge from 2 completely different contents, being born and living most of my life in Egypt and now living in New Zealand for 7 years which is a completely different culture.

I can share my travel stories travelling across Europe, Asia and Oceania region.

I have a good depth of Knowledge in the IT space for whoever is interested in that :)
