A wise man once said “Please be a traveler, not a tourist. Try new things, meet new people, and look beyond what’s right in front of you. Those are the keys to understanding this amazing world we live in.

If you wanna connect and check some of my adventures, add me on Insta @marc_yummy or Facebook Marc Yammine.

Currently I work as a background actor and I have my small moving business in Vancouver. I’m an entrepreneur by spirit. I'm also an architect but not working in the field right now. I’m straight if that matters to any of you but I’m very acceptant and open minded about all other orientations, choices and cultures. I relish self-growth circles, yoga, surf & calisthenics. I enjoy all kinds of sports especially in nature and water. I've been practicing a lot of different sports since my childhood! Whether you're going for a surf sesh, a run, a swim, a kung fu, Judo, Krav Maga sparing, or even a football or tennis game, well, I'll always be the one to join you! I love traveling with my backpack and above all meeting new people. BOTTOM LINE: Well I got that adventure gene always pumping for more!

I joined the Couchsurfing community as some friends told me about it! And I'm relying on you guys for some awesome and memorable experiences!
I like to laugh, so I enjoy being around happy and positive people. I like to talk with people about their culture, lifestyle and the things they experienced in this planet.

I'm very much an outdoor person who loves nature, wildlife- bushwalking and nature a glass of red wine, watching movies, music - most types, picnics, travelling, trying to play pool, dinner with friends, going to the beach and Surfing, walking to beautiful places -mountains and beaches, being in bed and listening to the rain fall outside, being scared when watching a thriller movie, crepes, tim-tams, sunsets, laughing and a nice hot shower on a freezing day!

PHILOSOPHY

To live for the moment and to lead an interesting and happy life!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me I really enjoy hosting as I've been in the city for a long time and it's good to show new people around. Although I've seen so much here, it's always good to see it through someone else's eyes. Give me some an idea about how you would like to experience the city and I'll make it happen.

I like traveling and learning from other people about their culture, and most importantly, living like a local, and not a tourist. I also love to have fun, laugh and have a blast with new friends!

My place is for those traveling by themselves. I'm sure your friend/husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend is super cool, but I don't host more than one!

Interests

I love everything related to sports.I like going out,shooting pool, late night walks through the city, I like warm weather over cold weather though. I like exploring, traveling, creating experiences and memories.

I enjoy deep discussions as much as having a laugh, and find it very easy to open up to strangers especially if they are friendly and like minded. I'm always in for new memorable and crazy adventures!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to play tennis, surf, some kick ass martial arts moves, some cooking and smoothies!

Occasionally I am involved with trekking/climbing activities around the city. Also, if you are even remotely talented at massage, I am always up for trade. I'm professionally trained, so you'll most likely get the better end of that exchange but I am ultimately appreciative of effort.

I am very interested in cooking together or drinking something from other countries. So, you maybe prompted to prepare something... of course I will help you!

Share: Music, peace, love & Happiness ;)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer good conversation and also good company.
