Description

Hello!

I'm a 27-year-old adventurer originally from Egypt, now calling the charming city of Strasbourg, France, my home. Since 2018, I've been embracing the world through various Workaway experiences, spanning Finland, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Nepal. My journey has been rich with diverse tasks, from teaching and permaculture to house maintenance, gardening, and even a bit of carpentry.

Beyond Workaway, I've explored over 20 countries across Europe and Asia, soaking up cultures and experiences that have shaped who I am today. Recently, I achieved a significant milestone by completing a double MSc degree in Development Economics from the Goerg-August University of Göttingen in Germany and the University of Blaise Pascal Clermont in France.

For the past six years, I've thrived as a digital nomad, working as a Business Consultant and Market Researcher for one of the top five business consulting companies in the United States. This role has honed my skills in sales, marketing, finance, and customer support, providing me with a robust professional background.

Now, after my academic and professional journey, I'm eager to take a break and return to Workaway adventures. I'm looking for opportunities that can last at least 1-2 months (also open to longer duration), preferably in resorts, hotels, shops, cafes, or even in private homes, where I can lend a hand with various tasks. I'm a flexible, fun-loving, and highly motivated individual, ready to contribute and create meaningful experiences wherever I go.

Let's connect and see how we can make a positive impact together!

More details about my language interests
I'm also excited to teach Arabic and English. In fact, I love teaching through sharing my culture in a way that you won't even notice—until suddenly, you realize how much you've learned after I've left!
