CURRENT MISSION

experience as much as possible before I die

ABOUT ME

When I first signed up for Couchsurfing I was living in Cairo, Egypt. Before that I lived in China and Greece. Since then I have lived in Quito, Ecuador, back in Egypt again, and frozen my butt off scraping my car windows in frigid Calgary. After that Qatar, back to China (Beijing this time), Mexico, and currently Sharjah, UAE.

PHILOSOPHY

"That which doesn't kill us makes us stronger." (the Egyptian Stella beer motto)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host. I surf. Sometimes I attend CS meets. I update my profile.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted and met lots of interesting people in Egypt and Ecuador through Couchsurfing, and couchsurfed myself for the first time in New York City on my way through to Canada. I've met some of my best friends in the world through Couchsurfing.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

can't get it down to just one; my life is amazing.
i left my place of origin can now say i have lived on five different continents.
I sandboarded in Namibia, scuba dived in the Red Sea, camped in Okavanga Delta, jumped off a cliff in Zambia, ate muskrat, dog, snake, and various other critters in China, and bugs in Bangkok.
I've walked on the Great Wall, touched the Acropolis, St Peter's Basilica, and the Great Pyramids of Giza, sketched the statue of David, rocked at the Colosseum, bathed an elephant, followed the herds on safaris, seen what Moses saw in Jordan, flown in a Cessna from Zanzibar to Dar es Salam, climbed Kilimanjaro, cruised the Nile and Galapagos, and single-handedly raised a young earthling, to name a few.
