About Me

I love meeting new people as much as visiting new places. Living in a diverse and international environment showed me that how much our deep inside feelings, challenges and dreams are similar regardless of the outside differences in color, language and nationality. I try to believe in my dreams in every aspect of life. I believe that the best and most enjoyable way to achieve our dreams is working with people with the same challenges and dreams and helping each other achieve them. In this interconnected world that we have access to too many things to see, to learn, to read and to do, I am trying to find or create my own things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am living in a two-bedroom house in an convenient place in Vancouver with my roommate. We have two couches in our living room that we can share them with one or two people. You can buy and cook your own foods or we can share our foods. I have some couchsurfing experiences in my friends' houses in different countries, I have no experience through this website
