About Me

******************************************************
PLEASE READ FIRST
******************************************************
- If you want to surf my couch is better if you ask me 7-10 days before your arrival date, not 3 months in advance, as I don't plan my everyday life so much.
- If I accept your request, I will give you my local phone number/whatsapp for further communication and send you the location of my house.
- Last minute requests are accepted, but handled day-by-day. Some times I can, some times I can't. If I know you are arriving I normally have time for clean my house, but last-minute surfers must have a flexible attitude in this topic, as having a clean house in Africa is quite a challenge ;-)
- PLEASE IF YOU WISH TO STAY WITH ME use the proper tool, in this case a COUCH REQUEST, not a private message

******************************************************
ATTENTION: I HAVE PETS (cat and dog)
******************************************************
I live with a very friendly and happy dog (guau! Hello, my name is Amira and I already love you!) and a small playful kitten (miau! My name is Nefer, and ancient Egyptian name that means "beautiful". Cool, eh?). They live with me inside my house and are an integral part of my family, so IF YOU ARE ALLERGIC OR DON’T LIKE ANIMALS PLEASE CONSIDER ANOTHER HOST.

PHILOSOPHY: Life is just one... chase your dreams!
CURRENT MISSION: [trying to] Walk like an Egyptian!

I'm an Uruguayan (and Italian nationalized citizen) web developer and Egyptology communicator passionate with ancient Egypt since I was 8, and now living my life dream, merging my mind and body with one of the oldest cities in the world: Luxor.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Receiving surfers is like travelling myself without moving from my house! I love it.

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC: open mind but in love with metal (specially symphonic, pagan and similar kinds) and Celtic music

BOOKS: epic fantasy, Tolkien fan and obviously anything Egypt-related

MOVIES: science-fiction, space operas and historical movies are my favourites

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Survived the Egyptians revolutions of 2011 and 2013 and built my own house in Egypt (twice)! Not bad, eh?

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you stuff about ancient Egypt (religion and mythology, hieroglyphs... you name it) and also about computers and web design (html, css, php, javascript...). Ah, y puedo también enseñarte español.

I would love to learn more about archaeology, cooking and whatever else you may willing to share... everything adds to the pool of knowledge!
