Traveling the world with the bicycle, hitchhiking and long distance hiking. March 2023 we’ve finished our 7 months trip around Europe and South America and decided to settle for a couple of years in Canada. But we are looking forward our next big trip around Asia:) We are into the experienced travelers who can share their experiences and learn something from them. But we are also about to host any traveler who is full of enthusiasm about life, who wants to explore life, to travel, who wants to live and share his enthusiasm about living. And also we are about to share our way of living - simple, calm, nature oriented, exploring yourself, improving life. All about love, life and living your life to the fullest. All in all, we are Ukrainian couple, who met in Gdansk, and now we are moving towards our goal to travel around the world and explore the world, people, explore ourselves.
CURRENT MISSION I am happily retired and fortunate to be healthy and active. I like Rick Mercer's philosophy: have fun but make a difference. Among other interests, I volunteer with the East Coast Trail Association and the Crow's Nest Officers' Club (a WWII national historic site). I often find myself as busy now as when I was working full-time. ABOUT ME My plan was to take one year off to travel after graduating from university. That turned into twelve years of a vagabond lifestyle. As a result, I am well-traveled, well-read and very interested in the wide, wide world that surrounds us. After my travels, I worked as a fisheries observer on the North Atlantic and served as a naval officer with Canada's Reserve Force.
I love to travel the world, meet people and learn about cultures along the way . My goal is to travel to all 195 countries in my lifetime. I approach life with the philosophy that "Knowledge is Power" and I'm always on the lookout for absorbing knowledge through books, travels, events, and people.
CURRENT MISSION To find the ultimate mission. ABOUT ME -I'm good at finding buried nuggets of humour. -I like activities that make me sweat (except public speaking). -I float on sound waves. PHILOSOPHY

We both grew up on the west coast of Newfoundland in the small community of Stephenville. After moving to the capital city, St. John's for University we decided to stay. We're an outdoorsy couple who spends the majority of time with our little yorkies, Poppy and Rose.
We are a family of three from Iran and live in St. John's NL. We are originally from Iran and moved to Canada in 2017. We have an almost four years old daughter, who is very sweet and sociable. My husband is a teacher and I am hoping to be a teacher soon.

CURRENT MISSION To become an upstanding citizen of somewhere or other. ABOUT ME Grew up in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada, and have since lived in Montreal, Toronto and various places in Korea. I like poetry, languages, movies, small acts of kindness and dumb jokes. I try every day to be as full of wonder at the world as a child. PHILOSOPHY Give everyone a fair shake, have as much fun as possible without forgetting the immensity of human suffering in the world, try not to be a coward, failing that try to have a sense of humour about your cowardice, and finally: if equal affection cannot be, let the more loving one be me.
Easy going, love traveling and meeting people to make friends. I love traveling. In addition to the places listed, I have also been to a couple of breakaway or de facto republics, including Nagorno Karabakh and North Cyprus. When I host you, I would love also to cook and have dinner together at least once during your stay. You are not obligated to reciprocate. Do not come to my place just to sleep without socializing (there are plenty of hotels for that in the city). Personal hygiene is very important for me, there is plenty of hot and cold water to shower multiple times a day if needed. I am partnered (gay) and have 2 cats: so you rather be cat and gay friendly.
Hi there I’m Emma 🍀 I grew up on the island of Newfoundland, off the east coast of Canada. For the past few years I’ve been backpacking full time, and most recently just spent a year and a half working in Paris. I’m back on the rock for the time being, and have decided to take some time to explore my beautiful home. I’m currently living with my folks and am unable to host at this time, but welcome travellers with open arms for a tour of the city or a warm meal!
I live the only life I know and it's been hella fun so far. I've always had the itch to travel and just go places. Now, it's assumed I'm off travelling or soon to be. When it comes to travelling, I've come to appreciate and find joy in doing the simple things like catching a bench hang or walking through parks, riding the subway (figuring out the subway :s), even joining CS meetups. My life consists of spiritual practice, facilitating intra and inter personal development through music, and doing whatever I can to be of good service. I compose music and share it on the streaming platform. More of me to come… Just ask!
I too set out on a journey though the world… As I refresh my memory of my maiden journey, the image that springs up is that of an overflowing river with a fleet of boats floating on it. I was on my way to a pilgrim centre with my family. I was three or four years old. Yet that first journey still lingers in my memory. Then journeys galore . Every journey multiplied my excitement. I traveled through the four continents of Asia, Africa,North America and Europe. As I saw the world my perception expanded. And therefore I will continue to travel around till my life journey end
