CURRENT MISSION

Shukreen's is probably to get by everyday without going nuts, and Reeza's still trying to figure out where they are. So all in we make a pretty good team.. LOL!!

ABOUT ME

Shukreen is some 10 years younger than Reeza, has a BEAUTIFUL smile and even MORE beautiful eyes, with a sprinkling of a few lovely small moles around them. :)) She used to be a competitive swimmer; is a REALLY kind, patient, giving person who I always have to tell her to remember to think about herself too, and I am LUCKY to have even met her...

Reeza's not as organised, swims like a duck and (fortunately) first impressed her by giving her a book as a present on their first date. the rest, as they say, is history... ;)

Kanoa's RUNNING all over the place, is a wonderfully smiley and sociable kid and speaks Mandarin and English to Shukreen, and Malay and English to Reeza, so feel free to add any other language to his ever expanding synapses! :))

MUCH more travelling to do in future Insya'Allah with his parents before he discovers girls, and with girls when he learns to a) sneak out of the house, or b) bribe his dad. Oh, and we all LOVE Mummy Shukreen's cooking! Muahahaa!!

PHILOSOPHY

To each their own.. oh, and PLEASE don't preach, especially over that REALLY good coffee... ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Provided we're both at home (cos we sometimes travel for work), we can host and would love to just be able to sit around and chat, too, over a wonderful cup of coffee! :D

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Reeza couch surfed in Barcelona and Girona in 2010, and hopes for many more with Shukreen and our (soon to be!) two boys in future!

Interests

Shukreen: reads, swims, scuba dives and now loves to cook and garden too (;)) oh, and DEFINITELY travel.

Reeza: used to dive, used to climb, used to snowboard, pretends to cook, talks to the plants and occasionally gets to read as well. oh! and used to be an underwater photographer. ;)
