Hey! I'm Patima. I get inspired by meeting new people, exploring new spaces, and creating with my hands. My adventurous and curious spirit has led to teach, work as a flight attendant, and design for companies such as Apple and Google. I'm taking some time to travel and explore the world. After all, I truly believe it's a combination of our daily interactions and life experiences that help us understand the impact of our life's work!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

One of the most authentic ways to experience a culture is to hang with the locals. That's what I love about traveling. Couchsurfing is a great way to dive into the type of experiences that make traveling worthwhile.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I spearheaded a design innovation lab in Haiti. I co-developed the design thinking curriculum we used, and taught some really eager students how to CAD and 3D print.

教，学，和分享

I'd love to teach you anything I know-- from carving wooden spoons to making homemade pasta and even how to hack a cardboard VR headset!

Other than learning more about your stories, favorite places, and culture-- I guess I also wouldn't mind learning how to ride a motorbike.

I'd like to share some laughs, smiles, and meaningful memories.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I love sharing meals with others... it doesn't matter if we're staying in to cook, ordering take out, or dining at your favorite mom and pop shop.

Having studied industrial design, I'm pretty good at problem solving, prototyping solutions, and fixing things. Just name the problem and I'll help you come up with something smart!
