In 2014, I quit my job, packed up my life and hit the road. I've been travelling ever since. 7 months ago, I bought a one-way ticket to Asia, and am currently in Japan with my partner. Love meeting new people and talking life philosophy. I believe you get from the world what you put into it, and each of us is here to learn, grow, and spread love and kindness :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Great way to meet interesting people, and the best way to see a new place is through a local's eyes ;)

Interests

As much as I love to write, if I spend too much time indoors, I go nuts. I absolutely love going new places and meeting new people, hearing about their lives and perspectives; it doesn't get old for me. I believe everyone you meet can teach you something, and pushing the boundaries of your comfort zone is the best thing you can do for yourself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Originally born in Iran, my family and I fled to Pakistan as refugees, and moved to Canada over 30 years ago. Currently writing a novel about my experiences.

Teach, Learn, Share

You're always one decision away from a totally different life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love food, and I especially love eating with people, sharing stories, and connecting over a meal, so I always try to make at least one dinner for my hosts :)
