About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Making money in unorthodox ways.
Publishing a book.

ABOUT ME

Hello, my nickname's Tofy, it comes from the Arabic word 'Tawfeeq' which means 'Luck'.

I live alone in a two-room apartment near Kawana station in Nagoya. If you want to sleep over, please note the following:

1- I cannot give you the housekeys. A friend of mine was robbed once by a couchsurfer, and I have no locks on anything in the house. It's not personal, it's drag.

2- If you have back pain, you are welcome to sleep on my bed alone, however I expect my gusts to sleep either on a long green couch or a mattress on the floor.

3- I'm usually busy so hope you don't mind exploring the city on your own. However I always engage my guests with lively conversation, wit, and tea.

It's rather difficult for me to describe myself. I do know for sure that I love Mexican and Indian food. And justice. And winning. And revenge (see the former).
I play the drumkit. And the Djembe. I sing kinda.
What's a comma?

PHILOSOPHY

Reincarnation. Secularism. Tolerance. Comedy. Pragmatism.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I enjoy outings and conversations with foreigners. I want to ensure they have a realistic and pleasant view of my country and I'd like to know about theirs as well. The world is vast...

*IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS SO LONG AS TRUMP IS IN POWER*
When messaging me asking to stay over, be straight to the point. Random articles about your life are fine, but make sure they contain something relevant to me and not just bragging about how fabulous and "real" your life is. I toats haven't any thrusts to bless you with.

If in the EU, start your message with: "I hope one day you will travel with your passport as freely as I can."
If American, start your message with: "I'm sorry."
If Russian, start your message with: "Syria is beautiful."

If none of the above, disregard instructions and tell me whatever you want.

JAPANESE ESPECIALLY WELCOME

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

(I'm a severely deviant individual and though scandal is fame and fame is publicity and publicity is agency and so forth, one has to be cautious about boasting here.)
Though a tame achievement was seeing Feirouz live.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach me a dish. Learn some Arabic songs. Or English ones I have an eclectic taste.
Culture is not terribly interesting to me. They tore down an Aztec temple to build a Walmart, and so one must realign priorities, adapt, and change from within the system.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A couch(es).
The stories I've kept from posting here.
A dish or two.
Not the housekeys : )
