Hello everybody !!
See, now I feel ready to start sharing and meeting everyone here. A while ago
and
introduced me to the platform ( THANK YOU ) ! Since then I have been taking my time to get to know the platform and know how it works through steemit chat and reading the amazing contents around here ! Such an interesting place to be. And I will tell you a little bit about myself !
Where ever I go I say " This is not my home". "Home" somehow has a different definition in my own dictionary. I lived in 3 different countries and they all touched me in different ways. I grew up in Abu Dhabi ; such a beautiful and a calm multiculti city. At sixteen I went back to my 'home' country, Egypt. There it went kaboom. A totally different life. In Egypt, the most influence that rubbed off on me is arts, food and the sense of humor. Egypt is Hollywood of the Middle East since it has the biggest film and music industry in the region. It is there where my passion for acting spiraled up its way from my guts. My six years in Cairo had much influence on me- specially that last chunk where I got drafted in the army.
What is my Passion ?
With that love for Acting surfacing, at 21 I flied to NYC. I studied acting in The Acting Studio in New York and performed in off-broadway shows, in plays (in Egypt and Germany ) as well as a TV series in Egypt. At that time in NYC, I recall the most thrilling moment of my life... standing in a somehow non-ending line up in Central Park to get a ticket to watch Al Pacino performing in " The Merchant of Venice". Working on stage is one world, and being on film set is another. Living someone else's life without paying the price is such an amazing feeling. Letting go of you and getting back to it later again. It is fun ! I have not reached yet where I want to be. In three years, I will.
My content ?
I love travelling and exploring different cultures. I enjoy a good coffee( bad ones piss me off), music festivals and good desserts. Now, I am located in Germany so it is a strategic location to travel around Europe. I will share with you interesting pictures and tips on what to do where. I will recommend to you great music festivals, local food ( and where to find it in your country) and hidden gems in each city. I will share experiences from Greece, The Netherlands, Italy, France, Poland, Lithuania, Belgium, Czeck, Albania, Austria and more !
Letting the entertainment part aside, I am determined to share as well more of myself and personal experiences with others. And if only one of you feels and relates, that's great. So here I am, taking the first step. I wish I can get your support to share more. So I thought to myself " Hey, why share it with one when I can share it with thousands or millions." Many of those experiences are inspiring and people can learn something from it !
I hope that my content will be educational and enjoyable to as much of you as possible !
So this will be my first Act here. The Second Act will be artistic(will come at a later phase). I am excited to be on your stage !
Oh wait ! About the name... I am Ali. Froggo is a nick name given to me by my brother since we were kids because to him I was Crazy Frog !
