Hi, I’m Imaan. I’m an outgoing, adventurous woman from the U.K. who loves to travel and to learn about different cultures. Meeting new people from all different backgrounds is such a huge privilege, and I’m always eager to exchange stories and personal experiences during my travels - it’s the most wholesome way to learn about the world.

My preferred travel destinations are places that feel like someone else’s home and not catered towards tourists. I live to learn, and I do that by soaking up everything a country has to offer - people, the arts, landscape, food.

I’d also like to use this account to connect with like-minded women in the countries I hope to visit in the future. The best memories from my previous trips almost always feature strong-minded, worldly women who don’t know it but have taught me so much through meaningful exchanges.

My next trip is likely to be to #kurdistan ❤️☀️💚 in February - if you’re a woman from Kurdistan please message me! I’d love to chat (though I am a typical brit and know few languages aside from English, so my Kurdish is very limited)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

. It’s a true privilege to be able to travel and I would love nothing more than to spend my trips sharing stories with local people and making friends all over the world

Interests

I’m a huge foodie, but not in the pretentious sense. I love to learn how to make local dishes, and my favourite thing to do is immerse myself in everything local - the arts, people, landscape, and food. I’m a sucker for markets and bazaars and try hard to learn many languages (albeit none very fluently)
