Overview
About Me
Outgoing and sociable with an interest in meeting people from around the world
Love experiencing other countries' customs, cultures and most importantly, cuisine!
Currently volunteering in an outdoor activity centre in England while at the same time trying to see as much of Europe as possible in the 6 months that I'm here.
Growing up in Cairo, my family an I would visit a new country every summer. Most of the trip would be spent seeing all the sights (which was exhausting for 7 year old) and then we would spend a week in a lovely hotel just relaxing. When I was 12 years old, we moved to Canada and primarily just visited our family back home every summer.
Starting two summers ago, when I got my Canadian passport, I've been trying to visit as many countries as my budget and time allows.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I want to expand my horizons and turn strangers into friends. I love getting to know people and sharing experiences with others.
Seeing that locals know the how-to's and places to visit, eat, drink and whatnot, I feel like they can provide the most genuine image of the place they are.
Interests
I'm in the "say yes to anything" phase of my life, open to all kind of new experiences. I have the biggest desire to travel the world and create a culturally diverse group of friends.
I love sports, especially rugby and soccer. Not the greatest chef but I'll eat about anything.

Music, Movies, and Books
I'm all about the romcoms, have a love-hate relationship with thrillers and horror movies (so much adrenaline, so much fear) and I'll watch any Pixar movie.
My favourite book series is Harry Potter and I'm still waiting for my damn letter! Otherwise, I really enjoy autobiographies and first-hand accounts of historical events such as wars. I also like fictional stories that incorporate non-fictional story elements. I'll read anything that makes me think!
What I Can Share with Hosts
Good company and lots of laughs!
