CURRENT MISSION

to make good life

ABOUT ME

I am passionate about Egypt! As a tour leader, I know a LOT about Egypt. I love adventure. Open minded and love to meet new friends, to make life more interesting.
I believe we are the artists of our own reality and the designers of our destiny...although I also recognize that life includes surprises beyond our control (mine has certainly been proof of that --in both incredibly positive and unfortunate ways ;). Muy tranquilo, I try to take life as it comes. I consider myself blessed to survive on my VERY limited budget AND still pursue my various interests (mostly travel, people & photography). When I'm working, I work hard ...when I'm not, I'm traveling. I haven't seen it all --but I'd like to!

PHILOSOPHY

Love life. Make a good life.Life is short-- breathe it in!Live & Give ...Viva la Vida!
Simply living to live simple.
...off to see the world, there's such a LOT of world to see...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I check the Egypt and Cairo group posts regularly.I assist travelers visiting Egypt, and have hosted.
Host. Guest. Cultural sponge. Advocate (I can't keep my mouth shut about CS). I'm creating lasting friendships & enjoying genuine hospitality while I travel and I return the love by hosting when possible at home. Nothing but positive experiences on SIX continents (although I do have some bizarre stories to tell as well ;).

.....I wouldn't travel any other way!.....
(even if I had all the money in the world)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted. I have written to visitors to tell them about Egypt.
I have couchsurfed on SIX continents-- and I LOVE making & maintaining connections with as many interesting people as possible (I consider CS my 'menu' for discovering global friendships which I plan to nurture into the future)

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: all kinds, but mostly action, romantic comedies, science fiction.

Many different kinds of music and books (especially of different cultures)!Self proclaimed 'Media junkie'...Music is a MUST. Nearly everyone claims to enjoy "all music" but, as a DJ, I have a collection to verify it. Everything from classical to unclassifiable... heavy on the old school Jazz (Sinatra, Satchmo, Ella, Miles, Coltrane, etc.). Essentially I go for the mainstream tendencies of any genre (particularly Pop music from any era: Beatles, Madge, U2, PSB, Smiths, and contemporary stuff as well ...too many to mention). I also have a tendency to fall in love with whatever new music I'm introduced to...just a warning.

Movies & Books are another passion. I collect "the classics" (cinema & literary) without reservation. I prefer many movies that were created before I was. My media libraries are far from complete, but they are pretty comprehensive. All I'm saying is that I'm easy to please in the media department, chances are we've something in common.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Riding horses in the deserts with the surrounding pyramids. Mountain climbing.love desert,I see amazing things every day :-)

Teach, Learn, Share

Egyptian knowledge is my specialty... I have much to share!desert , sea , night life .
I believe diversity is essential. I've learned the most from those most unlike me. I'm convinced we eventually discover what we seek (good or bad) but I choose to be optimistic. I'm on this planet to learn. Unless you're a clone of me (lucky for the world this isn't possible) there's much you can teach me. Maybe I have something to offer you as well. My primary interests and expertise would include the items listed in my "interests" above. I travel to LEARN anything anyone wants to share... I'm a listener. I also enjoy sharing the photos I take with my hosts. Show me some incredible places near you and I am happy to offer you the images as a thank you :)
