Hi💐👋
I’m Zenobia

ABOUT ME
****June 24 update****
I just got back on couchsurfing after 10+ years to see what the travelers are up to. A lot of my profile is still a remnant from a long time ago, which I will update in due course🙏

Not one to gloat about myself, I'll let some wise quiz masters give you a glimpse of me :-)

You Are A Girl!
Are you ever serious? Well, you're seriously playful.
And guys are attracted to your girlish spirit and all the fun that follows.
Your girlish, temper, however... well, they could live without that.
Not to worry though, you never stay upset for long. It's off to the next adventure

Your Quirk Factor: 77%
You're so quirky, it's hard for you to tell the difference between quirky and normal.
No doubt about it, there's little about you that's "normal" or "average."

You Are 72% Creative
You are beyond creative. You are a true artist - even if it's not in the conventional sense of the word.
You love creating for its own sake, and you find yourself quite inspired at times.

Your Personality is Very Rare (INTP)
Your personality type is goofy, imaginative, relaxed, and brilliant.
Only about 4% of all people have your personality, including 2% of all women and 6% of all men
You are Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking, and Perceiving.

You Are 61% Feminine, 39% Masculine
You are in touch with your feminine side.
Sensitive, intuitive, and caring are all words that describe you.
And you're just masculine enough to relate to both men and women.

You Are: 30% Dog, 70% Cat
You and cats have a lot in common.
You're both smart and in charge - with a good amount of attitude.
However, you do have a very playful side that occasionally comes out!

You Communicate Like a Man
When you communicate, you like to get to the point.
You're not afraid to say what's on your mind - and leave it at that.
Talking about your emotions drains you. You rather keep them to yourself.
You prefer solving problems to wallowing in your sorrows.

PHILOSOPHY

Why not?

LET IT IN, LET IT GO 🙏

NEW MISSION
Let it all go and begin anew.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd love to meet for a coffee or drink. Its an absolute killer that i cant host anyone! And of course, i attend most meetups and have started organizing meetups at Mumbai as well -exhausting but fun! :)

I also help out with moderating groups. I moderate the Mumbai Last Minute Couch group. Before You write in to me for finding a couch, please make contact with some of these people. It’s an Emergency Host List I've compiled (plz note I cannot and will not vouch for all of the people in that list. Buyers beware!)

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies -
Not a movie buff at all. If left alone, i'll almost never settle down to watch a movie. Underdog, death penalty cases, courtroom dramas are what I prefer.

The ones i've watched and liked are 'American History X', 'The boy with the blue pyjamas' , 'Precious', 'Dead man walking', 'A time to kill', 'Trainspotting', 'Schindler's List' and 'Life is beautiful', 'Erin Brockovich'.

Watch a lot of documentaries, though. Usually those critical of the mainstream POV...Bush-bashing/NWO are always a favorite, and can get quite sucked into conspiracy theory documentaries as well. :)

Music -
Deep Koliis, Coldplay, VØJ, Dibidabo, Sublab, Otnicka, Royksopp, The Weeknd, BTS, Sia, Dua Lipa
Western classical

I don’t do playlists…more like repeat same song on loop!

Books -
Haruki Murakami anything
Dostoevsky - have a feeling he’ll be my favorite but need to give the man his due respect - ie total isolation and then read him non stop
Non fiction - Graham Hancock, Gabor Mate
Kink - huge collection of cookbooks from around the world and I don’t cook!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Giving free hugs to strangers at Colaba Causeway on 21st March, 2009.
- Seen the Dalai Lama and having him see, smile, and namaste me back. even with a nagging toothache that day, it was still an awesome experience.
- Had Couchsurfer Massimo name his kitten after me! Luckily, she turned out to be the most mischievious one and his favorite of the litter.:)

Teach, Learn, Share

TEACH:
- I can show you around the various drinking holes and eateries in Mumbai.
- I can take you on some unpretentious street shopping
- I can teach you breathwork (different from meditation)

LEARN:
I want to learn:
- Languages - as many as possible, but top of my list is Italian, Russian, Spanish. Particularly interested in swear words and love signs
- how to pet a cat (am scared🫣)
- how do we break free and create a new world order (not the WEF/ Soros/Klaus Schwab variety)

SHARE:
Personal wisdom:
1. Wrinkles may be a bummer, but you really DO get better with age.
2. Men are disposable. No man is worth your tears and the one who is will never make you cry.
3. You can never give others that which you do not have. So if you do not love yourself, you cannot love others.

Material things
Rapé - Have a lifetime supply of rapé/ hapé if you’re interested in shooting something legal up your nose.
Homegrown chillies, curry leaf, basil
