Hi there, I'm Pouria - a thrill-seeking, nature-loving adventurer with a passion for exploring new cultures. By day, I'm a tech entrepreneur, having founded my own online shop for industrial electrical equipment, Teslakala.com. But when I'm not working on my business, you'll find me out in the wild, camping under the stars or embarking on a new adventure.

I'm a graduate in Electrical and Industrial Engineering with a Master's degree in Innovation and Entrepreneurship from Toronto Metropolitan University. My love for technology and innovation is matched only by my love for the great outdoors. I'm always on the lookout for new destinations to explore and new people to meet along the way.

I believe that life is all about experiences, and that's why I'm here on Couchsurfing - to connect with travelers and create unforgettable memories. Whether it's hiking to the summit of a mountain or simply sharing a meal with a new friend, I'm always up for new adventures and experiences.

I'm excited to connect with fellow adventurers on Couchsurfing and see where the journey takes us. Let's explore the world together!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I believe that the best way to experience a new culture is to immerse yourself in it. Staying with a local host allows me to see a country through their eyes, and gain a deeper understanding of their way of life. I also love the sense of community that Couchsurfing provides - it's a way to connect with people from all over the world who share a passion for travel and adventure

Interests

As I mentioned earlier, I'm an avid nature lover and enjoy spending time outdoors. I also have a deep appreciation for tech and startups, which is reflected in my professional background. When I'm not working or exploring, you can find me watching movies, reading books, or learning about new innovations in my field.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a big fan of classic rock, metal, and electronic music. Some of my favorite bands/artists include Pink Floyd, Metallica, and Muse. In terms of movies, I enjoy anything from action-adventure to indie dramas, and some of my all-time favorites include The Godfather, Pulp Fiction, and Inception. As for books, I enjoy a mix of fiction and non-fiction, with some of my recent favorites including Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari and The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most incredible experiences I've had was hiking to the summit of Mount Ararat in Turkey. The climb was physically challenging, but the views from the top were absolutely breathtaking. It was an unforgettable experience that I'll always cherish.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always eager to learn new things, especially when it comes to experiencing different cultures. If you host me, I'd be happy to share my knowledge of electrical and industrial engineering or teach you some basic programming skills. I'm also happy to share my experiences as an entrepreneur and offer any advice or guidance that I can.

What I Can Share with Hosts

As a guest in your home, I would be respectful of your space and your rules. I'm happy to help with cooking, cleaning, or any other tasks that need to be done. If you're interested, I can also share my passion for camping and the great outdoors and take you on a hike or camping trip. Above all, I'm excited to connect with new people and share in the joy of travel and adventure.
