About Me

Hello!

So I'm a Canadian boy who grew up in Vancouver, Canada. My original country is Iran but I see myself more as a Canadian and can tell you all about Canadian culture.

I recently moved to Annecy, France for to work for Salomon. I've worked in the outdoor gear industry for almost my whole professional career. The outdoors is where most of my interests are. Whether it's hiking, camping, climbing, road biking, mountain biking, skiing, ski touring, volleyball... you get the point. I love the outdoors!

I also am a hugely passionate about travelling, languages and meeting friends from different places around the world. I never thought that I was very good at learning languages but after only 5 months in France i can hold a basic conversation and am hoping to improve my french even more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing for several reasons:

1. Meet interesting people and make new friends from all around the world.

2. Offer cool people a couch to sleep for a night when they are in Annecy.

3. Travel cheaply around Europe/Asia and Africa while getting to meet real locals in the cities instead of just getting the 'tourist' treatment.

4. Open myself up to new opportunities

Interests

I mentioned most of them up in the 'about me' section but you I'm a pretty diverse person that most loves the outdoors. Other than the ones I mentioned above, I do love to cook. One of my favourite things about travelling is to get to try new cuisines and tastes and try to unleash my inner Anthony Bourdain.
