About Me

*Open to Host But Girls only.
Unfortunately, The CS requests I receive are mostly from freeloaders, I am not entertaining any of it due to multiple reasons. If you want to be hosted at my place, please read the profile first, write me an interesting request.
Honestly, I miss hosting Travellers, but all we see are people who just want a free home, No you are not WELCOME.
....
I always Find it hard to say something about me, I don't know it yet, who I am or what I am or how I am . May be am always evolving or may be m not changing at all or maybe I just want to keep myself to me only. Who knows!!
Anyways let's start with the obvious things.
I know that I like Being Positive, So you can call me an optimistic person who always tells herself that the glass is half full :')
I like to joke around and I like to meet people who have good sense of humor without cracking cheap jokes. ^^ People who can connect to me tell me that I am a pleasant company with good sense of humor while for some I don't exist. I like to be non-existent some times and at some places.
:)
Kindness is something which connects all homo sapiens at one single point no matter which part of the globe they belong to. So, I try to help people who need help with all my resources, where I can(or sometimes beyond). If I cant I will at least try to calm you or support you with the kind words, Coz I know That Words do Help ALOT, sometimes all YOU need is a word of kindness!!
^_^
and yes I like to smile,I think a smiling face gives you some bonus points than a straight face. ^^ :D
^^
About traveling, mostly I m a solo traveler and I just don't want to SEE a place, Instead I want to understand and feel it, and wait for it to reveal it to me at one point. So keeping that in mind, I stay at least 4-5 days to a city I go, so my cities visited ain't much, but i literally enjoyed each of them!
^^
Other than that, mmm No i dont drink, (but cant say no to COLA) haha! :p
And if you ask about the most important person in my life, Then I'd say its my Mother, What I am today is because of her! ^^
My family is really important to me, and wherever I go or travel, I take my family and my mother in my heart and mind! ^^ So if you host me or being hosted by me, its most probable that you talk to my kind and beautiful mother too!!
^^
I love Nature! Mountains, Greenery, Valleys, clear fresh waters and breezes soothe me the most. My biggest dream and desire is to explore the Northern areas and mountains of Pakistan as much as I can. ^^
.
I think that there is always a lot more in a person that you can only discover when you meet them, and first impression is never the last impression.
.
the last thing , In the beginning I dont know what to talk about or what to write, but once I start its hard to stop myself!!!! You just read an example of it. haha ;) :p
So Thats all about me For CS, but still lots unsaid lots undiscovered! ^_^
Hope to meet you In this small Village.
-Peace, Prayers And Smiles and Smiles!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It was My Berlin's trip (2017) that brought me here, and I am So happy that I got to know about Couchsurf, such a beautiful way to help people and know that there still are so many good people in the world!
^^
Obviously, Money is one of the basic reasons, But that feeling of having a home at a place where I have never been to, and knowing that there is some one who is waiting for me there. I get too connected to that feeling and it kinda makes me emotional sometimes. So, All these sentiments are just priceless. and indeed the best thing for me about CS!!!
.
Right now I am more into hosting than surfing, so I hope to meet some great people at home.
.
Couchsurfing in such a short time has given me great people from around the globe(some life-changing/ disturbing experiences too), and M looking forward to meet more. :')

Music, Movies, and Books

What I like to hear mostly depends on my mood, but most of the time I listen to old Pakistani classical and pop music. I am not really so keen about music :p
World war II is my favorite topic to watch movies about, The book thief is my favorite movie since last 3 years :p
Cant find any more good movies in the world, haha. (not a movie person)
Mother by Maxim Gorki was the last book I read.
I like to read travelogues too, its always good to read the stories of the people who are reading the pages of the world! :')
and I like reading people, I might want to make one Human Library in Pakistan.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am pretty sure that I have done quiet amazing things in my quarter of the century, and m Happy with these things. But I guess The Most Amazing is still to come.
I want to write so much, but lets just stick to travelling :D SO
*Spending a night out in Venice Alone was something I'll always cherish, and then the new year night out in Prague! I am in love with Nights and streets some how, so yeah, the list goes on with the European cities I have spent my nights out! :D
.
*Catching trains and buses on time In Berlin! haha :p
So proud of myself for that.👰
*Being to the Northern Areas in Pakistan.
Call me Biased, but for me the heaven on Earth is In Pakistan and all the valleys and clear water always call me back to my home. ^^ 🏔️⛰️🗻🏕️
And Joining CS is i guess also something amazing :D

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to use a DSLR! ;)
Can share my words of wisdom too! haha :p
Learning basic words of new languages can be fun too, I always find funny similarities between different languages :p
I might want to grab the positive ideas you have about your life, I believe people have their own positive negative energy, so I sense it some how from the people and if i meet positive people, i get motivated about life! :')
Always upto hear that what do people think in their own box coz its interesting for me to see how different everybody thinks.
And about sharing, I believe the Quote that Sharing is caring !!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I always bring something for my host. and I keep the place clean!
