My name is Siam. I was born in Dubai and moved to Toronto, Canada in 2009. I finished school and started working for a web based company for Marketing and sales that provides online training for summer camp counselors. Its called www.expertonlinetraining.com if you want to check it out. Allows camp directors to train their staff on child safety and how to handle children with learning disabilities and many other basic modules. I do travel for some conferences to a few places and that's basically how I fell in love with visiting and exploring new cities, the different architecture, their people etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well As I was saying I've gotten to meet some amazing people in my travels, and often let people stay at my place in Toronto and someone told me about couch surfing and it seems perfect for me. I honestly love hosting and hearing stories about adventures and such and have many of my own. I want to host as well as be a guest in a city and perhaps also get to know the life of other travelers in their home base when I'm away and vise versa. Hope that makes sense?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've lost 90 lbs in 11 months. I used to be obese, I'm about five six and used to weight 245 lbs.
I'm about 160 now. Have great before and after pictures. I was very motivated. Cardio everyday for an hour! I feel great and still keep fit!

Teach, Learn, Share

There's really no end to knowing someone and the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own makes meeting new people so exciting for me.
We make ripples by sometimes just being an extra in each other's script and story.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, culture, great movie suggestions and I'm super clean and will always be down to do all your dishes =)
