「世界和平大使」 - Ahmed Haggagovic

一位年僅二十八歲的埃及青年,至今已訪問過全球九十多個國家和地區,不單只見過埃及總統,還拜會了埃及駐當地的大使、不少國際著名人物、總統、宗教領袖等,當今世上或許只有他一個人做到。他便是埃及的民間友誼大使Ahmed Haggagovic。

夢想成真 持之以恆
日前,Ahmed Haggagovic訪港接受了本刊的訪問,講述了不少其有趣的故事,包括有一次坐火車在中途站下車拍照時,列車竟然把他遺留在車站便開走了,但他的旅遊證件及財物都在列車上,讓他非常狼狽,其後在使館及當地政府幫助下才能繼續上路。這位年輕遊歷家的個人經驗認為:「一個人只要有夢想,只要堅持夢想,總有一天便會夢想成真!」他向本刊透露,當他年僅四歲時,參與一個電視現場節目,主持人問他的夢想是甚麼?他回答:「我的夢想是去日本旅行!」直至他十四歲時,出外旅行的想法再次湧現,到十五歲時實現了外遊的夢想,但首站並不是日本而是德國。外面的世界很精采,他在德國接觸到不少友善的人士,親眼目睹許多新奇事物,自此更激勵他對旅遊的愛好。其後他便展開其人生旅途的第二站 – 瑞士,第三站、第四站至今。為維持他的愛好,他於二零零七年至二零零九年其間工作賺錢作旅遊經費,暫停外遊一段時間,其後再次恢復。他每到一個地方都會帶着一面埃及國旗與當地人合照,向人們介紹埃及,並與當地人士交朋友結友誼、互相交流,所以他被人們稱為埃及的民間友誼大使。個多月前,他與埃及總統會面時,當面反映埃及是一個很好的國家,應要設立一個良好的旅遊局促進旅遊、推廣旅遊,而總統也同意他的提議。

最近,他展開「西伯利亞之旅」,由莫斯科至西伯利亞、經蒙古至中國內地旅行,然後到香港及澳門作友誼之旅。在港期間,他拜訪了香港的旅遊部門,到山頂、天壇大佛以及一些著名景點參觀。他每到一處地方,都會與市民作交流。雖然他會說英語、法語、西班牙語、葡萄牙語、阿拉伯語等,但總會遇到一些不慬外語的人士。他說:「這並不是甚麼難題,因為微笑便是很好的語言!微笑便是交友的良方。」

最新夢想 冀能成真
當問及現年已屆二十八歲,是否有結婚組織家庭的想法時,他表示,雖然現時仍是單身,並已是適婚年齡,但暫無結婚之念。他仍想多遊一些國家,幸好目前得到埃及航空以及一些機構贊助,讓他能繼續外遊、宣傳埃及。至於他的最新夢想是甚麼?他回答:『美國有雜誌報導,聯合國秘書長潘基文有意向我頒授「聯合國友誼大使」,這也是我的夢想,希望有一天能再次夢想成真!』
