Hi, I’m Aida – a travel addict with a backpack, a big smile, and an even bigger heart 🌍✨

After 7 years of flying high as a flight attendant based in Qatar, I traded the skies for barefoot adventures and soulful connections. I just returned from India, where I completed my yoga teacher training, and now I’m following my intuition to work on my own business.

I’m a chocoholic, art lover, salsa dancer, yoga enthusiast, and recently… a curious explorer of the magical world of marketing. I live for deep conversations, spontaneous dance sessions, and getting just one step outside my comfort zone – because that’s where the magic always happens 🌈

I believe in dreams, in kindness, in stories shared over tea, and in the possibility that Peter Pan might still take me to Neverland one day 🧚‍♀️

If you love exchanging life experiences, exploring local gems, or sharing a good laugh – we’ll get along just fine 💫

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Sharing joys of life. 🧚🏼

I’m here to connect with people who are also in love with life — its messiness, its beauty, its unpredictability.

Let’s trade smiles, music, ideas, and that sweet feeling of being fully alive.

I believe joy becomes even more powerful when it’s shared — whether it’s a deep conversation, a meal together, exchanging travel stories, or simply walking through a place with curious eyes and open hearts. 🫶🏼🧘

Interests

I’m in love with many things — and always curious to discover more.
From traveling the world to diving into the world of marketing, from getting lost in jazz music and books, to expressing myself through art, painting, and even getting my hands messy with a bit of pottery.

I enjoy cooking with heart, practicing meditation, feeling the rush of adventure sports, and watching or playing a good game of football. I find joy in volunteering, learning from different cultures, and most of all — in meeting new people who bring fresh stories, flavors, and perspectives into my life.

Music, Movies, and Books

I’m all about jazz and bossa nova. I love Lenny Kravitz, Amy Winehouse, and Red Hot Chili Peppers, and a bit of soothing vibes of Norah Jones and Jack Johnson. I also have a big heart for Balkan rock legends like Riblja Čorba and Prljavo Kazalište, and I’m always dancing when there’s jazz, Latin, blues, or any kind of rock in the air.

Movies That Moved Me:
I love films that make you feel deeply or think differently.
Some of my all-time favorites include. I love Pedro Almodovar.

🎬 Mar Adentro (The Sea Inside)
🎬 A Beautiful Mind
🎬 La Vie d’Adèle
🎬 Gemma Bovery
🎬 La Piel que Habito (The Skin I Live In)
🎬 Das Leben der Anderen (The Lives of Others)
🎬 The Fool — a powerful Russian film that left a big impression.

Books I Keep Close:

I’m drawn to stories and ideas that reveal how the world really works or stir something inside me. A few that stayed with me:
📘 The Economist: Undercover Economist
📘 The Kite Runner
📘 Brandwashed – a fascinating peek into the world of marketing and consumer psychology.
