Hi! My name is Yaovi, I’m from Togo (West Africa).
I’m a friendly, open-minded and curious person who loves to meet new people and learn about different cultures.

I’m interested in technology, community life, volunteering and cultural exchange. I also enjoy simple things like having a coffee with friends, walking around the city, or discovering new music and food.

I’m planning a move to Manitoba (Winnipeg) for my future projects, so I would love to connect with people already living there. My goal is to build genuine friendships, share experiences, and learn more about life in Canada.

What I can share

Stories about life and culture in Togo 🇹🇬

My experience in software engineering and technology 💻

A good sense of humor and positive vibes 😃

I’m always respectful, honest and easy-going. Looking forward to meeting great people and making real friends!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe the best way to discover a new place is through its people.
I joined Couchsurfing to meet locals and international friends in Winnipeg, share experiences, learn about Canadian culture, and also share my African (Togolese) culture with others.
I’m here for friendship, exchange and community spirit.
