If you are visiting Toronto, I would be happy to show you around. Depending on what you're into, I can take you to amazing restaurants, cafes, bars, galleries, parks, multicultural neighborhoods and scenic viewpoints in the city.

Growing up in Toronto, arguably one of the most multicultural cities in the world, I have had the privilege of meeting people from different ethnic backgrounds, learning from their cultural practices and sharing my cultural and personal experiences. While I grew up in Canada, my cultural background is Iranian and I am thankful to have an amazing family who taught me a lot about my heritage and most importantly, my native language of Persian/Farsi. Having 2 cultural identities and speaking 4 languages have allowed me to connect with people from all around the world at a deeper level.

I am passionate about swimming, cycling, playing football (soccer) and I believe sports are a great way to connect with people and breaking language barriers!

I enjoy engaging in new activities and keeping an open mindset to new experiences.

I love going on hikes, spending time in nature (beach, forest, mountains) and connecting with the surrounding geographical landscapes.

I am also an avid fan of restaurant and bar hopping.

I enjoy reading French novels from authors such as Albert Camus, Emile Zola. I like various genres of music, but more specifically Reggaetón, French R & B, Flamenco, Forró, and Baile Funk! Music is a universal language and a great way to find common interests, helping me connect with people from all backgrounds and different walks of life.

PHILOSOPHY:

-Knowledge is power

-Learning a new language helps you connect with people. It helps with understanding and learning about their personal life and cultural customs on a deeper level

-Travelling develops your wisdom and is a great way to feed your brain with lifetime experiences

-You are the universe in ecstatic motion

-Only from the heart you can touch the sky

-Enjoy the small things in life and always enter new experiences with an open-mindset

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of the best part about travelling is meeting new people and making lifelong connections and that's a reason why most people including myself use this amazing platform.

I love going on hikes, spending time in nature (beach, forest, mountains) and hope you can show me your favourite parks in your city :)!
