My name is Tommy and am from Vancouver, BC (Canada). I love to travel, meet new people and explore the world around us. I am gay, francophone and a ginger. I grew up in a small town up North and went to school at the University of Alberta. I now reside in the beautiful city of Vancouver. I strongly believe in volunteering and giving back to the community. As a guest I am a good balance of quiet and loud, I do not drink alcohol (but will gladly join you at your local pub and have some non-alcoholic beverages with you), I do my best to support local businesses, and always have a smile on my face. I'm also pretty flexible when it comes to schedules so no need to feel bad about having to wake me up at 6:00am to go to work. Due to recent increase in hosting requests I wanted to write a quick note about my availability. I keep my profile on "accepting guests" as I am always open to having travellers around however please remember that I do have a life here in Vancouver and cannot host everyone all the time. Note that due to the nature of my work my schedule is all over the place so be prepared to be flexible. I also prefer to host people who have common interests with me and who I would most likely get along with. Advanced notice is also preferred but I can be flexible in terms of dates. In short, I don't want anyone to take it personally if I refuse your request to stay with me. It is free after all ;) Generic and copy/paste requests that do not tell me your reasons for requesting to stay with me specifically will automatically be declined. I receive many requests that do not even include my name, those people get blocked. Note that I only accept queer couchsurfers who are travelling solo as this is how I gay-it-forward to my community. Furthermore, I strongly prefer to host folks who identify as gay and male. I will decline you if you do not fit within this category. Please understand that this is nothing personal and I try my best to respond to everyone, even if it's just to decline their request.

CURRENT MISSION I’m a traveling/ wandering songstress in training. ABOUT ME I am a very easygoing, welcoming and friendly person. I am a creative person to my core. I enjoy expressing myself through music, painting, jewelry making, dance, blogging and photography. I LOVE to travel. I am always dreaming about my next travel adventure. PHILOSOPHY Be creative and change the world!!! Live life to the full and go after the dreams of your heart!

*** Not accepting Couch requests at the moment, please understand. *** August - September 2026: I'm not in Vancouver or Canada. *** If I haven’t met you yet, please do NOT send me a friend request. Thank you! :)) *** Hello there! My name is Ying. So far, my travels have taken me to 47 countries around the world. I’m incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people through CS, hear their stories, and share mine. I’m here to meet genuine people, and I truly cannot express enough how much I value and enjoy spending time with open-minded people! :) Organic human with a dash of critical thinking. CURRENT MISSION There are so many things I’d like to work on. I want to write, draw, and create more. I hope to listen more deeply, read more books, learn new skills, reconnect with friends I’ve met along my journey, and strive to become a better communicator. I aim to discover more about life, learn from the people around me, and continue learning about myself. ABOUT ME Overall, I hope to be seen as someone “reliable,” who stays true to my word. I value your time as much as I do my own. I find labels and generalizations about people limiting and counterproductive. While it’s helpful to understand a culture, I believe it’s the uniqueness of each individual that makes the experience meaningful. I try to approach people with an open heart, learning from them rather than assuming based on where they come from. Ultimately, we are all part of the HUMAN RACE. To me, where you’re from doesn’t really matters to me, what matters more is the attitude we bring. PHILOSOPHY - “Leave your mark through kindness and purpose.” - “The happiest people don't have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything they have.” - “To move, to breathe, to fly, to float, To gain all while you give, To roam the roads of lands remote, To travel is to live.” – Hans Christian Andersen. - “Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.” Anaïs Nin - “To laugh often and much; to win the respect of the intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the beauty in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that one life has breathed easier because you lived here. This is to have succeeded.”

CURRENT LIFE Right now I am biking across Europe with two friends and we are traveling from the south of Spain to the north of Norway over a three-month duration period as such I'm unable to host but I am available to meet up. We are looking for hosts about once a week to get some rest commentarged devices, shower, and be dry, otherwise, we are doing a lot of wild camping. If I am in your country than don't hesitate to reach out and feel free to ask to meet up, especially if you're able to host. ABOUT ME To start, I graduated from an engineering program at the University of Waterloo back in 2016. After living in the same city for 12 years I decided I needed to move so I could keep exploring this wonderful world. I'm now located around Vancouver, BC. I enjoy staying active and playing sports which is why everyday I'm on my bike and any chance I get I'll be out hiking, tossing around a frisbee, or being active somehow. Hitting up some scenic trails or rough terrain is always a blast. I am not much for watching sports on TV but I will play just about any of them. Would be interested in going out for a bike ride, long hike, camping trip, or an activity on the water. I enjoy cold beer on a hot day and the occasional joint. I know how to have fun and surround myself with good company. Very outgoing and eager to try new things. Hit me up for a good time.

Hey Travellers! If you send a request I am having trouble responding. I can find the chat access on my phone but on my computer, it doesn’t appear. I usually respond 100% of the time. We will be traveling all summer so you can request in June but we will be away in July and August. Not sure how to block my calendar for days away. We travelled Feb 2024-August 2024 to Africa and Asia. A dream adventure we were lined up to do in 2020, when, well you know what happened. Four years later all four of us opened our schedules to go! Despite our busy work schedules, and out of town family visits, we love to welcome travellers into our home. We have hosted and been hosted many times and it has shaped who we are as a family. Couchsurfing is a meaningful, enjoyable part of our life. About us: We are a family of four who love traveling and being active. Our go to activities are x-c skiing and hockey in the winters, hiking and biking in the summer. We prefer hosting 1-3 nights so we are able to host more of you. For those of you asking for 1-2 weeks or months, this is not what Couchsurfing is to us, so please look elsewhere. If you have read this far, thank you. When you request to stay with us call me Wheely. We would also like to know something about you and why you think we would be a good match for Couchsurfing. Enjoy your travels!

CURRENT MISSION Create your own path! ABOUT ME Born in Budapest, Hungary, raised in Calgary, Canada and currently calling Luxembourg home. I have lived all over Western Canada Europe so I'm always on the go but I'm never too busy to make another friend. I consider myself an avid traveller and try to plan a trip to a new country at least once a year! The single greatest thing a person can do is get to know the world around them. PHILOSOPHY My Philosophy is a simple one, be happy and fill your life with as much experience as possible.

I am born and brought up in a small but densely populated country called Bangladesh. I first started traveling abroad at the age of 27 and got hooked into it! Since then I've been abroad frequently and even lived in Russia for my professional project for 3 years before moving to Toronto in 2022. It has been an amazing experience to adapt to such a contrasting culture, language and weather :) For an original introvert and a converting extrovert, I find fulfilment in exploring the unknown and believe people are the heart of happiness. Passionate about Sports, nature and environment. I believe I am a very easy person to communicate to :) I'd be glad to meet you up, go for a walk, share a coffee or a drink and most importantly, quality exchange :) Feel free to follow me on Instagram: @nafis2107

NA :)
