About Me

I'm a people's person, I love to hear stories and experiences - anything that excites themeselves about their own lives.

I am not a big fan of change, and paperwork makes me anxious. Although, I'd love to see places - it doesn't make sense to me without company.

I've traveled a bit, but obviously have tons more to see. New cultures entice me, and I never get tired of it!

As you can see, I rant a lot but can be silent like a feline too. You never know which version you'd get to meet ;)

Cheers to making new friends 🥂

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I said, I love people.

Couch surfing I believe gives me a chance to see more people. I've met amazing people on my journeys everywhere, it helps me feel connected.

Traveling has proven to me that everytime something goes wrong, something is absolutely fine somewhere else in the world.

You are only tied down, if you let yourself be!

Interests

I'm not a yogi, but love the idea of spiritual awakening and meditation. I've been named a "flexitarian" gradually transitioning into vegan.

I have travelled a bit for humanitarian relief work, but not as much as I'd like to. So, I'd definitely be doing more of it, InShAllah ;)

I love cooking across cuisines, I have the most random food combinations but they turn out well in the end! 😄 Baking goes hand in hand without doubt!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd be happy to teach you to cook Indian food, some Malaysian (I just learnt 😬), savory pies and baking cakes, muffins and buns! And if it is something I don't know, we can learn it together, I'm always up for a cooking adventure 😍

I'd love to learn musical instruments (guitar, mostly but I like all instruments as long as we can create harmony!) and swimming 😬 I haven't had the chance to learn how to swim. Any chances of doing any adventure sport is on my list - I'd specially like to scuba dive once I learn how to swim 😬😁

I'd love to share everything about the places I have been in and know. I'm Muslim by faith and follow the religion in my own special way, if you're a fellow Muslim - I'd love to tell you all about it! And if you're not and would like to know about it, please feel free to shoot 😬 whatever questions you'd like to have answers of 😄😍

What I Can Share with Hosts

I could be a non invasive guest and respect your privacy.

On the other hand, if you're up for it, I could be a chatterbox and try new things and acrivities together!

I'm up for cooking some food at all hours of the day, and to behave like a bean bag of comfort and support always! 🤠
