Hey, I’m Hashem – friends call me Etsh. I’m an Egyptian traveler, filmmaker, and photographer who fell in love with storytelling the day I held my first Fuji film camera. Since then, I’ve been capturing moments, chasing perspectives, and documenting the magic of human diversity through my lens.
I don’t just take pictures—I try to freeze feelings, culture, and truth in a single frame. I travel to connect, learn, and share. Every trip, every face, and every story adds something to the way I see the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I believe people are the soul of travel. I love connecting with kind-hearted, curious, and open-minded individuals who enjoy deep conversations about life, art, and culture. If you love the stars, slow mornings, and meaningful connections—we’ll probably get along just fine.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled across all 27 provinces of Egypt in just one month, exploring its hidden gems and iconic sites. Every stop had a story—and I tried to capture them all.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love sharing my photography experience with others—whether you’re a beginner or a fellow visual storyteller. Let’s walk, talk, and shoot together. I believe the best stories come from shared moments.
