Hi, I’m Arvin!

I’m passionate about exploring the world through meaningful connections and authentic experiences. Having had the chance to live in several countries and travel across continents, I’ve come to appreciate the richness that cultural diversity brings to everyday life. Whether it’s wandering through hidden corners of a city, trying local dishes, or engaging in deep conversations, I love embracing what makes each place unique.

Couchsurfing, for me, is more than just travel—it’s about creating friendships and memories that last far beyond the journey itself. Let’s connect!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I found a lot of good friends in CS. I would always try to be a good surfer or a good host. If you want to be my friend, make sure you have a complete profile so I will not hesitate to accept your request.

I love enjoying the sunset, swimming, snorkeling, making friendship and having a conversation with intelligent person or those who have a lot of traveling experience in their life.
