Hey there! I'm Mahmoud, an easygoing and friendly traveler from Egypt. I love meeting new people, exchanging stories, and learning about different cultures. Life is an adventure, and I enjoy embracing it with curiosity and an open heart. Whether it's sharing a deep conversation over coffee or just having a good laugh, I'm always up for meaningful connections.

I will be in Europe next May and will be visiting:

Basel,Switzerland
Reinach,Switzerland

Maulburg,Germany
Gerlingen,Germany
Stuttgart, Germany

Looking forward to meeting new people and experiencing these places with you! 🌍✨

I work as an Instrumentation and Control (Electrical Engineer ) , which keeps me busy solving complex problems and working on exciting projects. But outside of work, I'm always looking for ways to explore life beyond the technical world.

I'm passionate about football (soccer), watching movies, swimming ,and playing chess. I also love meditating in nature, as it helps me find peace and balance in a fast-paced world. Besides that, I enjoy exploring history, engaging in deep philosophical discussions, and trying out different cuisines. Whether it's a night of watching a great film, strategizing over a game of chess, or simply enjoying the sound of the waves, I'm always up for new experiences!

I’m really interested in nature and everything about it. I enjoy hiking in the mountains and finding peace and tranquility in natural landscapes. It’s one of the best ways to disconnect from the busy world and reconnect with myself.

I'm always excited to taste new dishes, explore different flavors, and experience the culture behind every meal. Whether it's traditional homemade food, street food, or a fancy restaurant, I'm always up for a good meal and love sharing food experiences with others.

I'm also a big fan of video games, especially on PlayStation (PS5). I enjoy immersing myself in exciting adventures, strategy games, and competitive matches.

I have a knack for understanding people quickly—I can sense vibes and connect with different personalities effortlessly. Also, I'm pretty good at solving puzzles and strategic games, always thinking a few steps ahead. And if you ever need an interesting fact about history or science, I probably have one up my sleeve!

I believe that every person we meet adds something valuable to our journey. I love sharing life stories and hearing about different perspectives. One of my favorite things is simply sitting in a new place, observing life, and appreciating the beauty of the moment. Oh, and I’m always up for spontaneous plans—sometimes the best experiences happen unplanned!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing because I believe that the best way to experience a new place is through its people. Connecting with locals or fellow travelers makes a journey more meaningful. I love exchanging cultures, sharing travel experiences, and making new friendships across the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy a wide variety of music, from relaxing instrumental tracks to upbeat pop and classic rock. One of my all-time favorites is Amr Diab, whose music has a special place in my heart. As a legendary figure in Arabic pop, his blend of traditional Arabic sounds with modern beats is always captivating. His songs like Tamally Ma'ak and Nour El Ain bring back great memories, and they never fail to get me in a good mood.

Depending on my mood, I might be listening to something soothing like acoustic or chill beats while relaxing, or I could be pumped up with some classic rock or electronic dance music when I'm out and about. I also love discovering new genres and artists, especially when traveling—it’s always amazing how music connects people from different cultures!
