ABOUT ME

In the last 4 years, I've lived in India, Vietnam, the Philippines and now residing in South Korea. I grew up in Canada and despite its reputable education system, I dreaded university. I want to redefine the university experience to help young people develop their 'ikigai' (Google it).

PHILOSOPHY

"You have brains in your head, you have feet in your shoes, you can steer yourself any direction you choose!" - Dr.Seuss

CURRENT MISSION

Pay it forward.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been familiar with Couchsurfing for years, and went to a meetup once or twice while I was living in Manila, but I haven't had the opportunity to actually use the platform yet. I'm usually too last minute with my requests to hosts, and haven't lived in a nice or spacious enough apartment my past few years to be able to host people (though I really would love to). There have been moments where I've been brought to tears by the kindness of strangers.

Interests

It's more interesting peeling back the layers through conversation, no?

• traveling

Music, Movies, and Books

A night of live jazz over a glass of red wine sounds perfect, but some times I wanna get down to hip hop. It's all about the mood, you know what I mean?

Since I've moved to Korea, I spend a lot more time in my head (haven't made many new friends yet). I've been finding company with others through books. Checkout my Goodreads, maybe we're reading a few of the same - https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/27193344-zahin

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked through the middle of the night to catch the sunrise at the peak and watch a sea full of clouds glide towards me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good stories. Ouuu how about doing yoga together? Or a photography project?
