About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Building genuine and authentic life experiences as much as I could to enlighten myself.

ABOUT ME
I am a guy with a very inquisitive spirit, years ago I felt a yearning to come into more intimate grips with life, "to enter it without any of those carefully contrived, artificial defenses which security-minded people love to build up around themselves; and I wanted to find myself an approach to the spiritual order of things which, I knew, must exist but which I could not yet discern". I left my Engineering degree, my career and my social life (especially social networks) and studied counseling, philosophy, and religion-related knowledge.

I believe that long-term life plans (a career, maybe!?) are illusions man had created to feel like they are in control of their lives. I stopped planning my life years ago, just trying to put short plans and dreams, letting my heart and my destiny drives me wherever the destination is. "NOT because we do not know what we want… contrariwise, it is because our heart knows EXACTLY what we want even though our thoughts are sometimes slow to follow. But in the end, they do catch up with our hearts and then we think we have made a decision …"

PHILOSOPHY
{ he who is afraid to climb mountains will evermore subsist between pits}

{
At all times people had known greed: but at no time before this had greed outgrown а mere eagerness to acquire things and become an obsession that blurred the sight of everything else: an irresistible craving to get, to do, to contrive more and more, more today than yesterday, and more tomorrow than today: а demon riding on the necks of men and whipping their hearts forward toward goals that tauntingly glitter in the distance but dissolve into contemptible nothingness as soon as they are reached, always holding out the promise of new goals ahead - goals still more brilliant, more tempting as long as they lie on the horizon, and bound to wither into further nothingness as soon as they come within grasp: and that hunger, that insatiable hunger for ever new goals gnawing at man's soul.

An entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need.
We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives.
We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new here … no great expeditions yet to write on the wall …

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Although “Couch surfing” is a new vocabulary for me, I had practiced it for years …

“Stagnant water in a lake get saturated with rot and turbidity while streaming flowing water remains pure … so do man” … I’m trying not to get rotten in this life-style of “career, city buildings, social media … Etc.”, trying to stay pure as I was created one day and Discover myself by living a genuine and sincere life with no attachment with any of this world wrecks …

I assume that traveling is one the most explicit statement man could ever make expressing his internal freedom from any wreck’s attachment. Practicing this concept, I had traveled many cities across Egypt away from this “touristic-exhibition approach” just to find out the original man’s lifestyle away from modern city. My dream is getting bigger every day, the size of making a trip allover Egypt with the motorbike isA soon, lives in central Asia for a while (or forever) alongside other traveling plans isA.
