ABOUT ME

We are friendly people always wanting to travel and see new places! We're honest, a little goofy at times but love to have fun and experience the beauty in this world. We tend to get along with most people; if you're kind, friendly and honest, I'm pretty sure we'll like you!
I (Natalie) am a graphic designer at heart and my husband (Umair) works in marketing. We love to travel the world, explore new places and he is constantly looking at plane tickets - even while we're away!

Fair word of warning though, Umair does love to talk about anything and everything so if you do too, then we'll get on REALLY well! Oh and he's a HUGE basketball and football fan while I'm more into yoga, spirituality and arts, we make a little odd couple but going ten years strong and still full of love!

PHILOSOPHY:
Be kind, honest, respectful to all people you meet and know.

Dream! In all the meanings of the word!

Live your life with others in mind - it's a lonely road to walk alone.

Experience the world's beauty, culture and people - respecting everyone has different and brilliant beliefs.

Very important:
* Don't think just because you don't understand or believe something, that it is by any means less important than what you believe *

And by all means;
* Take it all in *

* Never forget your family and those you hold dear *

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We're couchsurfing the world to write a book about our experiences so if you want to be involved, please feel free to reach out!

Interests

We love taking photographs! I love art, film and music, travelling - seeing and experiencing different cultures and parts of the world. My husband is very talented in business development and data analytics, but is largely interested in sports - mainly basketball and football, and has a vast range of knowledge on many sports facts. We are both avid fans of tv shows and movies and love to see the latest releases and many classics. We're not big drinkers and find seeing new countries and cultures with a clear head is so much more fulfilling. We're respectful and keep ourselves to ourselves when staying in others homes. We really want to experience as much culture and beauty as realistically possible. Any hints and advice is much appreciated!

Teach, Learn, Share

We have experience teaching English as a foreign language and are very eager to learn other languages!

What I Can Share with Hosts
