My life quote: Better to feel pain than live scared

Update (June 2024): I'll spend my summer holiday in Toulouse. Feel free to contact me!

Hey, I'm Mohamed from Giza, Egypt. I'm 27 years old, and after finishing my studies, I worked in a multinational company. I moved to Grenoble, France by September 2023 to do a master's degree but my main goal was to experience a new culture, discover the world and broaden my mindset.

Living in France has affected me in lots of positive ways, which is that I've become a more sportive person (hiking and cycling), I changed my dietary habits (almost being vegetarian) and I'm more open and non-judgmental than before.

I'd call myself a super social guy when I travel. I'm trying to dive into the cultures I visit as much as possible and staying with locals is often the best way to do that! I enjoy checking out new places, meeting new people and trying new stuff. I'm interested in meeting anybody who can inspire me to be better!

N.B. I respect all races, religions, genders, and opinions. However, I host travelers who are extroverted, talkative, and enthusiastic with stories/things to tell/share rather those who just use the app for the sake of a free accommodation spending the whole time on their phone. If you belong to the second category, please don't text me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make new friends, try and do stuff I thought i will never do, learn new things and to understand the true meaning of openness. Also I wanna meet cool people from all over the word and share my culture and beliefs.

Music, Movies, and Books

I LOVE music. I won't really exaggerate if I say that I'm almost listening to music during all of my awaking hours so I can't really specify that I like a specific music genre and I'm always open to discover new music from your country :)

I'm not a big fan of movies. Rather, I prefer watching series and I've watched about 40 series so far, some of them are more than 7 seasons!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- joining the 25th of January 2011 revolution as a volunteer, one of the greatest events that happened in the modern history of Egypt.
- doing a 9-country solo trip in Europe in only 25 days
- going for a hike in table mountain, in South africa, one day after a 🔫 was going to end my life 🙃
- driving in the middle of nowhere in the Namibian desert for 4 days.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach my guest english or arabic language. I can teach him/her how to cook some egyptian meals.

I wanna learn some cool words of your language, and since I'm vegetarian, I'd love to taste a good vegetarian recipe from my guest country

I'm keen on sharing my positive habits and friendly character.

If I'm in Egypt, I can share with you the egyptian culture as well as our delicious food and also a trip around Giza (a city that have a number of the most important monuments and attractions of Egypt like the three great pyramids, sphinx, the Egyptian museum, and Giza zoo

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'll be happy to eat with you some Egyptian food, to show you around my beautiful city and to share with you the real egyptian lifestyle
