You don't have to read my entire profile, but please read the following points and confirm that in your message:

- I use Couchsurfing to make real connections with people who are really into travelling. I don't host people who are changing apartments or changing cities and want transitional housing. If you are moving to the city, I could meet for coffee, but I only host travelers.

- I work from home and will be around the apartment most of the time. The space is shared.

- I have a busy life so it would be difficult to predict my availability in the far future. I also can't accommodate urgent requests. It's best to send me requests within 2 weeks before your planned stay.

- I have a dog. If you want to stay with me you should be okay with him around. If you have a dog or a cat I won't be able to host.

- Please confirm that you read these points and you are okay with them in your message, otherwise I won't be able to host. Thank you.

My name is Yazan. I moved to Canada 5 years ago and I live in Toronto. I have been an active host in Syria and Turkey since 2010 and I always enjoyed connecting with travelers.

I speak Arabic and English. I like writing and I am a professional in program management and communications. love food and enjoy cooking and trying new dishes and cuisines. I enjoy deep intellectual conversations about anything that relate to humanities.

I live in a spacious one bedroom apartment with a beautiful view of the city. I have a Golden Retriever dog named Sushi, he is very friendly and loves to play with new people.

LGBTQ+ folks are welcomed.

I also have great food and coffee recommendations and I would love to show you around the city or give you recommendations on what to see and try around Toronto.

Please note I have a Golden retriever dog living with me. His name is Sushi and he loves people! (see him in my photos).
