Hi! I’m Nass (short for Nasser — both work 😊), a Canadian living in Vancouver, originally from Iran.

Travel has been my life for over 20 years — not just professionally (I ran my own travel agency for over a decade), but personally. I’ve explored 35 countries so far, but what matters more than the numbers are the people I’ve met along the way.

I’m the kind of traveler who prefers conversations over sightseeing lists. I love learning how locals really live — their routines, food, neighborhoods, and stories you won’t find in guidebooks.

These days I work as a licensed investment and insurance advisor in Canada, but my traveler mindset never retired.

As a guest, I’m respectful, clean, quiet when needed, and always mindful of house rules and personal space. I truly appreciate the trust of opening your home — and I never take that lightly.

I enjoy good conversations, tea or coffee breaks, walking around neighborhoods, and cultural exchange. I’m always happy to share travel stories (I have plenty 😄) or simply go with the flow of the host’s lifestyle.

🌍 Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me, travel is about human connection, not just places. I’m here to meet locals, exchange cultures, and experience destinations through the eyes of the people who live there.

I believe the best travel memories come from simple moments, shared laughs, and meaningful conversations.

Philosophy: Travel smart, see more.
