I am an Arabic Teacher to foreigners in Cairo. I love to teach and help people understand the language and culture of Egypt. I like solving problems and helping others do the same. I try to see the positive in everyone and everything. As someone from the Christian minority in Egypt, I could offer you a different perspective on Egyptian history and how religious coexistence has been achieved in this country that I love. I am a dreamer and have a running list of things I hope to bring about to improve the lives of people in my country.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love opening up my home to people and helping them understand Egypt, and I've been doing so for friends and friends of friends since 2006. I decided to join Couchsurfing to experience that same hospitality in other countries, since I love learning about other places and cultures.

Music, Movies, and Books

Traditional/regional Egyptian music, jazz
Inspirational movies, movies with a purpose like Patch Adams, for example
CS Lewis, allegorical stories

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This is not something just I have done, but I am amazed every time I get students that come to Egypt with zero Arabic and leave completely capable of thriving in Egyptian society. It brings me a lot of joy to see it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My desire to learn about your culture and your life as my hosts. I won't see you just as a person giving me a place to sleep, but as a friend that I will want to get to know. I want to experience the life of a local! Also, I can teach you to walk like an Egyptian. :)
