What I love is getting to know different people and different cultures. Since I have started "development studies", I have been drawn by South Asian labour cultures and development issues. As a matter of fact, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia will be upcoming destinations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To get to know people and learn about their culture. And to make friends with people from all over the world. Other than that, I strongly support "sharing" culture. I believe it help us count on our human resources and networks (friendships) rather than financial resources (money). For me, Couchsurfing represents an alternative worldview and a more humane way of living.

Quitting my beloved (but challenging job) in my late 20s. leaving friend & families and immigrate to a far Northern country with a totally different climate and culture. I call it a game changing decision!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I live in a fantastic basement next to a conservation area (far from down town Toronto) . I have a 120 Sq ft, carpet floored, spare room. Bathroom and Living room will be shared and if you need any cooking ware, you are more than welcome to use the kitchen and amuse us with yummy, wonderful dishes! I am a foodie and love baking! I usually leave early in the morning. But if I don't, I would love to have breakfast with my guests.

Countries I’ve Lived In

Canada, Iran
