I'm a 28 y/o graduate student in philosophy, teacher and football coach. I love travelling through different lands and meeting new people, getting to know and experience the interesting details of life in different places. I also love showing people the places that I love and find interesting in Toronto, and in Iran when I'm there.

I am able to host in Toronto where I'll be in the summer. My house in Toronto is in the suburb of Richmond Hill and is about 1.5 hours from the downtown area by public transport.

I primarily participate in couchsurfing to view the world through another's lense and get the best understanding of the places I travel to. On the other hand, I want to show people the places I know through my lense.
