Hi! My name is Ridha. I'm originally from Iraq, lived in Turkey for a few years, and now I'm living in Toronto, Canada. I’m easygoing, open-minded, and I love meeting new people from around the world. I enjoy deep conversations, exploring cities, and learning about different cultures.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I'm here to meet kind and interesting people, share experiences, and explore cities from a local’s point of view. I believe Couchsurfing is more than just a free place to sleep—it's about connecting, exchanging stories, and building friendships.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

Jazz music 🎷 (I recently attended the Toronto Jazz Festival and absolutely loved it!)
Walking tours, especially exploring historic neighborhoods
Art, photography, and architecture
Good coffee and deep conversations
Road trips and discovering hidden spots in cities

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I once worked as a tour guide in Istanbul, showing people around the city and helping them discover local culture. It was amazing to share my love of history and meet travelers from all over the world.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I can teach you some Arabic, share stories from Turkey and Iraq, and give you tips on how to travel smart. I’m always open to learning new languages, cooking styles, or philosophies.

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

I can cook a simple Arabic or Turkish meal, share great music (especially jazz!), and I’m always happy to help around the house or go out for coffee and good conversation. I believe in being a respectful and clean guest.
