Hey there! My name's Samir and I was born and raised near Niagara Falls in Canada.

It’s a beautiful and endless world we have, but the best stories have always been about the people you’re with, and the ones you meet and befriend along the way.

I love the mountains, I love long bike rides, I love swimming in the open water, and running on trails. But sometimes, the most exciting adventures can be had drinking coffee on your friend’s porch, or jamming out to some piano and singing with a new friend. And every once in a while, you’re lucky enough to experience it all together :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A stranger can be a friend you haven’t met yet :)
