New at CouchSurfing, not new at international lifestyle and welcoming travellers. My last 5 years have been in Odessa, Ukraine as a pharmacist student, oriental restaurant chef and delivery guy. Recently moved to Minya where my family lives. Another flat in Cairo, for small holidays.

Minya is one of the treasures between the main touristic cities, halfway from Alexandria and Luxor. There are some unpopular temples, 30 minutes distance south of Minya. Beni Hassan is the temple just next to my small city, Abu Qourqas, linked by train, it can be reached easily. If you would like to stay with me, you will experience the simple life, sit at the pharmacy with me while customers come and leave, spend evenings around Minya center and Nileside (corniche), deal with locals who don't see many tourists and CouchSurfers even less. You can go to the archaeological sites in the morning, if I'm free let's go together!

I hope you will feel welcomed and you will trust a local guy 🔋
