Couch Information
Couch Available: Maybe
Preferred Gender: Any
Max Surfers Per Night: 2
Shared Sleeping Surface: Depends
Shared Room: Dependsi currently sleep on what will become my couch in my living room area. My room is under construction and I am still manifesting for a free bed for myself. If you're not too fossy, we might be able to figure something out with that! I always have food, i love to cook, bring something to share... I have to ask/inform my landlady before i can host anyone. She has 2 young kids half time and she doesn't want me to host while they are in the house, fair enough, it's her house.
**Update: December 14 2011**
I just moved into my new place, a basement suite, on my own, with a lease and all, yeahhhh!!! Hit me up if you need a place to stay while you come to Saskatoon, I might be able to host you! I've been busy and it's been a little chaotic with renovations in my bedroom, but i'll see what i can do!
**Update: June 5 2011**
I just moved back into my little house in a parking lot in a back alley not so far from Broadway ave. I can't really host right now but email me or call if you wanna hang out, go for a walk or have a coffee at the roastery. Enjoy Summer in Saskatoon!
**Update: March 22 2011**
i just moved with a friend (with her 3 teenagers, 2 dogs, 2 cats and 1 tarentula) this is for a couple of months, until it is nice out and i can get my motorhome out of storage. I can't host you for the moment, but feel free to email me if you want to hang out, walk around town or by the river, go for coffee or music shows in town! Enjoy Saskatoon! :)
For Emergencies, call or text me: 306-371-1804

*****************************************************************************
Just a tip for the newbees here on CS: Before sending a couch request for the first time, please read the how to write a couch request section and fill up your profile with info and pics of yourself, I am sure your future host would like to know a little bit about you too before they open their house to you! Happy surfing!

Personal DescriptionEmotional, Creative, Excessive, Spontaneous, Curious, I am a free spirit, a new soul, a nomadic traveler, a gypsy folk musician who needs to connect with the Earth and its people.
I left Quebec City in July 2006, after quitting my teaching job, giving up my dog and selling all my belongings. I traveled and lived abroad for 2 and a half years. Then I found Saskatoon, in the middle of the Canadian Prairies, where the sense of community is strong and where the land of living skies and its people are powerful, where I connected with myself and found what I was put on Earth for, where I felt happy and grounded more than ever. After settling down for 1 year, discovering song writing and singing to a higher level and making a mini album (Manifest some Love), I toured a little of our big canadian country for 3 weeks with other Prairie musicians. In August 2009, I decided to leave Canada and explore the Western American States and Baja California, Mexico for 8 months. Then last year, it was South America for 5 months to learn Spanish and get ready to record another music project. Touring here and there and now back in Saskatoon for the year, I am currently sub-teaching in the french immersion schools and preparing to release my second album in March 2012! Playing music everywhere in town with my band and organizing my music career and future tours in the Spring... I am fairly busy but i still want to host when i can!How I Participate in CSI have been a member of CS since April 20th 2006 and only a couple of profiles were deleted in the big crash, unfortunately so was mine, even though I was an active member! I have been a Nomadic Ambassador for more than 2 years now. I love greeting new members and help them start their couchsurfing adventure! I also quite enjoy meeting members and organizing gatherings and making CS more active in the cities or towns I pass by or live in. I love to surf couches, share travel stories and host in my RV or when I have a house and meet or tour those crazy couchsurfers all over the world! What's your story???CouchSurfing ExperienceLoads, there are so many! Check out my profile! :)
Instead of listing all those amazing couchsurfing experiences I had, here is a list of the Crazy places I slept in...
*A petrol station in Kars, Turkey...
*The jungle in Chiapas, Mexico...
*A camping site with no tent, few feet from the highway with mosquitoes and rats as night companions in Valencia, Spain...
*A gliding club with a huge rat as night companion for several weeks in Dhekelia, Cyprus...
*A squat with 10 dogs in Grenoble, France...
*A tv production office in Mumbai, India...
*The middle of Black Rock City Desert, Nevada, with dust storms and intense sharing community (Burning Man) for over 40 days so far (4 years in a row)!
* In an RV, around Baja California, the west coast of USA and Canada...InterestsPerforming, smiling, meeting unforgettable people and having unforgettable conversations, being in love, the ocean, surfing, yoga, meditation, music, Saskatoon, beaches, water, the smells of nature, monkeys, trees, monkey trees, laughing, learning, dreaming, crying, walking, camping, improvisation, creation, self expression, spontaneity, hitch hiking, mountain climbing, exploring, traveling, RV-ing...

http://www.malikasellami.comPhilosophyBe true to myself and to others, live with the least expectations as possible, be happy with what I have and who I am, enjoy the journey, not the destination and try to respect all those personal philosophies everyday of my life...Music, Movies, BooksMovies:

Books:
I am currently reading "The Handbook to Higher Consciousness" and "Motorcycle Diaries"Types of People I enjoyWe learn from every entity, according to our momentum of awareness, despite their form, their energy, their wisdom. I have learned recently to focus on similarities when differences and judgments obstruct our objective view on people, spirits, animals, or things. Acceptance of our differences, crossing paths and sharing journeys for an undetermined time without knowing the future, letting go of the past and living the moment is important, cause that's all we have. It is a hard task, but our level of energy, sense of community and collectivity through all that will bring us together.
It's all about sharing!!! Because of Couchsurfing, I crossed path with some people who radically changed my life. The journey is only starting...Teach, Learn, Sharewe will share, teach and learn... What? I don't know. Let's connect first and see what happens!One Amazing Thing I've Seen or Done*Been to Burning Man, Black Rock City, Nevada, U.S.A. and survived the dust storms... 4 years in a row!
*Hitchhiked more than 75 000 km in many different countries!
*Swam in a lake infested by crocodiles in Udaipur, Rajasthan, India.
*Volunteered in a AIDS center in Puna, India.
*Admired the immensity of the wonderful Canadian Prairies and smiled, naively...
*Volunteered in an orphanage in Riosuccio, Colombia, teaching theatre to lovely kids...
*Explored the Amazonian Jungle, near Iquitos, Peru, seen some amazing animals and even hold an albinos baby sloth!Opinion on the CouchSurfing.org Project"Isn't it, out of the blue, out of the blue,
Those meetings, when you need something new.
Isn't it, out of the blue, out of the blue,
Those feelings, when you meet someone new.
A strong connection,
Ephemeral, random,
We're here for a reason,
That is meant to happen.
Out of nowhere,
When we're unaware..."

This summary is not a replacement for reading references; it's a quick summary to help you get started. At a glance, you can see how many references a member has, and how many of them are positive, neutral, and negative.
In the second line, you'll see how many references came from people who hosted this member, surfed with them, and traveled with them. These numbers won't always add up to the total: some references are not categorized, and some may be categorized as more than one thing.
When viewing this summary, don't jump to conclusions! Things that are negative for one person may be positive for another, and vice versa. It's important to read references carefully and evaluate what that information means to you. References (308)299Positive 9Neutral 0Negative
