Let's laugh, adventure, share stories, talk about books, ideas, dreams for ourselves and our humanity.

I was born and raised in Saudi Arabia, moved to Canada in 2013 and was still covered from head to toe. Today, I'm a women's empowerment coach, TEDx speaker, and I met Oprah last summer! I'm writing a book, working title: "From Burka to Bikini", and hoping to publish it in 2024.

I love hearing people's stories, goals and dreams for themselves and their hope for our humanity. I enjoy going out and exploring the city and its parks, yet, love nights in watching a movie, cooking, and having a good conversation over good food.

When travelling I love to visit art galleries, go for walks in the forest or the beach, sit in cafés to watch people and most likely find strangers to go adventure with.

I'm always down to trying/learning new things, finding that magic outside my comfort zone, meeting new people, and living life to the fullest!

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

The community. People who open their homes for strangers and people who spend a night or more at a stranger's place are radically adventurous, generous and unique human beings that restore my faith in humanity, expand and teach me something everytime I host or be hosted. So grateful this app exists.

Intereses

I live for social justice, books, yoga, hiking, politics, and liberating conversation.

Música, películas y libros

📚 I read books the way kids eat candy. Okay.. between 15 to 30 books a year since 2016. Mostly memoirs, historical fiction, political and social science, as well as the good old self help books.

🎶 I love instrumental, deep house, EDM, R&B reggaeton, and country.

🖥 I've watched FRIENDS 9 times, I... ehm.. don't like The Office, and I'm obsessed with Marvel movies.

Algo increíble que he hecho

I've swam and hugged sharks in turquoise blue waters in Belize.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I'm a good cook, and I ask questions and tell stories for a living so expect great conversation, hilarious stories, and delicious food.

Genuine appreciation for your hospitality, respect for your home and space, and reciprocated generosity.
