ABOUT ME

Bonjour! Je suis Samina....enchantee! (J'ai un clavier anglais sur mon ordi alors il faut exscuser la manque d'accents!!!) En ce moment je suis en France, et j'ai passe huit mois ici qui ont ete vraiment nickel! Moi je suis calme, ouvert et respecteux, et j'inviterai quelqu'un avec les memes qualites chez moi dans l'avenir. Etre rigolo aide toujours aussi!

En ce moment, je profite de la vie, je suis en train d'explorer et apprendre et en bref...la vie est belle! Je quitte Paris pour venir dans le sud, et j'ai choisi Montpellier juste par hasard....je n'y etait jamais, mais j'ai un feeling (intution?folie?logique?) alors on verra.....en tous cas, ca sera une experience!!!

Hello!
I'm Samina...nice to meet you! At the moment I am i france, and have been to my delight and delectation for 8 months now. I would hope to come across as chilled, open and respectful, and would look for the same qualities in someone to whom I would offer my couch. A good sense of humour would also be greatly appreciated!
At the moment, I am just loving life, exploring new things and learning more each day....pretty sweet!!!

PHILOSOPHY

I haven't really got a personal philosophy and I am always trying to be open and questioning, but in my limited and humble experience i have noted one thing...for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. I'm rubbish at physics, but i feel this pearl of wisdom can be applied very generally, and I take it to mean that you get what you give, so I'm trying to give the best I can, and so far, i feel i get more then my fair share, which is lovely!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm brand new at this, but i can't ait to start participating!!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had all kinds of couchsurfing adventures in my life...from the amazing family in Dakar who let me stay with them for 5 days until the airline found my bags(and also gave me the most incredible welcome and the most useful crash course in Senegalese custom and culture) to the super cool guys who i partyed with and stayed with in Rotterdam last week. I;ve also had some really great people appear on my couch in my time, and that's why i love the idea of the whole thing going electronic....unstoppable?!?! Maybe!!!!

Interests

Everything and anything really....I can talk for England as they say, and study languages, so I'm interested by words, and inspired and delighted by literature. I also study philosophy, which has been so valuable to me.
I love to meet new people and exchange stories and perspectives, to travel and to live life beyond just the surface.
