HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I started with coffee or drink but when I saw all these cool people and realized I am able to host them too, i decided to host too. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE When I first heard about CS, I knew it was the perfect thing for me :) if u like traveling, meeting new people, having fun - this is the community to be in :) yes, I had some negative/weird experiences but most of my CS experiences were more than great... ************************************************************************************* :) PLEASE TAKE 1 MINUTE AND READ THIS PART HERE :) ************************************************************************************* Giving the fact that CS has become very massive lately and people r using it for different reasons, please read my profile before sending me request or msg. YES, I M PRETTY COOL AND I M SURE U R TOO BUT take time to fill out ur profile, write main things about u and put at least few pictures of urself. My house is my house, my shelter, my private castle and not a hostel so i would like to know who will be staying here. *** CS is NOT free sleeping accommodation service nor dating site, so please respect it! *** If u r one of the persons who just looks at the photos and sends request based on somebody's look, please don't send one to me. Also, I didn't write my profile just as a hobby, it's made to give u the picture of who I m :) so please, I would love to get a personalized request/msg, to know more about u and what is ur motivation to ask for my couch... Not just copy/pasted msg – trust me, i ll know! If your plans change, let me know as soon as possible. Keep in mind that when accepting u, I usually have to reject some other ppl so don't be selfish! If you change your plans (dates, number of guests, confusing messages, disappearing for weeks, etc) I will feel free to be as unreliable as u accepting someone else's request.

There are 2 books that really sweeped me of my feet and both are connected to Islam: Infidel by Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Girls of Riyadh by Rajaa Alsanea. I also loved Desert flower by Waris Dirie. I love going to the movies! I love comedies and good movies (read CHICK MOVIES :)) where I can just lay down, relax and laugh. Last but not the least is music. As a STEP UP quote says: "People dance because dance can change things. One move, can bring people together. One move, can make you believe like there's something more. One move, can set a whole generation free!"
