CURRENT MISSION

Live happily, learn, share and prosper.

ABOUT ME

Important: I can host females only. Nevertheless, I can meet both males and females.
Please contact me if you need any information about the city (what to see, activities, where to eat, what to eat, transportation,...etc.)

My current motto is: The only thing we can do is to keep trying... At an up-beat pace when we are up, and as much as we can when we are down. I try to keep a positive mental stance as muc has I can.
I am mostly into nature and outdoor places, be it an a conversation in an outdoor cafe, a walk or a run in the street, in the woods or the desert. Historical places do not mean much to me unless I understand their historical context.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My family and I had hosted an American friend of friend and it was an enriching experience.

I signed up to couch surfing just before my trip to the United states so that I can meet new people there, and possibly stay over if I travel around. In India, I understood that staying in people's homes can give you a much deeper insight about the culture.

I am aware of the limited number of hostesses in Alexandria and I am now on couch surfing to offer a home for guests, as part of returning some good to the world. I love to give a cultural insight during the time they spend with us and I enjoy sharing the City with others as I see it, when I have time, or at least give some advice.
