I'm a writer, recently turned filmmaker who loves life and the worlds of stories whether they are books, films, or a history museum brochure.
I'm crazy about animals, especially dogs, even though I have two cats who decided to adopt me a few years ago.
I love secret places unknown to many, and places that have so much history that you can feel it in the air.
I love water surfaces, wine, BBQ parties, Jazz, festivals, nature, and peace and quiet.
Nothing thrills me like a well spun story and a pure enthusiasm for life against all the odds and obstacles.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The thing I love the most about traveling is meeting people who live in the place I am exploring. I have very little interest in mass tourism and a lot of interest in the local life, food, streets and hidden alleyways of cities.

Teach, Learn, Share

I suppose I can teach you a few Arabic words and sentences and learn from you your language as much as I can.
I could make you an Egyptian meal if I can find ingredients, or any meal, and share with you stories and insights about life, while hearing yours.
