Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

It's been ages since I knew about CS but I waited till I moved to a new house where there is some space available!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The first was just AMAZING! I stayed with Amal from Morocco in Paris and we had the best time ever during my weirdest trip so far! (plane delayed then cancelled then was lost with luggage DUH too much to explain) but Amal just offered me her place, her bed and her excellent company :)
The second was in Granada with a lovely student from the Sahara :)

Interests

Movies Movies Movies!!! listening to music, biking, reading, fitness and enjoying nature's beauty. Simple things like sitting on a waterfront having some nice dessert do amuse me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hopped in a complete stranger's car in Portland, Oregon who offered to drive me to a garden I was trying to find my way to. He stopped me on the street and was curious about the way I dress (My Hijab apparently) thinking I was from Iran.. he was so culture sensitive and I sensed that he wanted to learn more about my part of the world. I did go with him and we had the greatest time ever before he drove me back to the hotel.
