Hi there,
It's me, Ahmad. A 30-year-old man who feels like 20, with strong passion for curiosity, adventure, and discovery. An extremely sociable one. An Easy-to-be-with person who has a great sense of humor while he’s Sometimes too logical that reminds people of Sheldon Cooper (The Big Bang Theory TV series)! A very peculiar combination of logic and emotions. An active and out-going person who likes to stay out of radars once in a while to think on different aspects of his life.

I received Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree focused in English Language Translation and Interpretation from Payame Noor University (Distance Education) of Sanandaj, Iran. I've worked as an English teacher in several institutions since college. These days, I work full time as a freelance teacher. I LOVE my major and I'm looking forward to be a well-grounded interpreter and teacher. It's because I'm interested in interpreting, linguistics, and teaching as the same. That’s why I founded my own private English school to teach people how they can discover new worlds by learning new languages. Besides, I work as a tour guide and interpreter once in a while. It depends on the seasons which tourists choose to visit my area. Sometimes, I take online classes or translate various stuffs for my clients in my spare time. Literally, I’m an experienced English language teacher with a demonstrated history of working in the higher education industry. Skilled in English as a Foreign Language (EFL), online English teaching, adult education, translation, and interpretation.

I really like learning new languages, meeting new people, visiting new places, finding new friends, etc. I like to learn Spanish, French, and German. I also like to travel a lot and host tourists and friends from all over the world. I planned to save money and travel around whenever possible because I believe money returns, but time doesn’t. I spend my free time on books, movies, music, podcasts, and video games. There is a small library in the corner of my room with different variety of books in it. I know, you may think all these hobbies without moving a muscle may make a real panda out of me. I have another favorite hobby, too. Something that I fell in love with several years ago. Something that satisfy me from deep inside. And that’s hiking & climbing. I use even the smallest opportunities to hike in the nature or climb a mountain. I have many plants in my room, too.

I’ve been thinking about my goals in the universe recently. I asked myself this question that are we here just for being alive? Or just for living? How about other people on the blue planet? I’m trying to find my real place in this life and help others to do so. I’m taking more care of my surrounding people and environment. I figured out that I need help to go through my life, but there are people who need help even more than me.

I have experienced much through my life. I’ve felt cruelty, I’ve felt kindness. This tragicomedy life made me realize who I am and what I want. Right now, I am a kind of person that loves laughing and often lives in the moment. I believe past has past and the future is upcoming. Let’s try to love and live as who we are, not who we want to be. Life is shorter than we imagine so live and love. Life is simple things that surrounding us. These simple tiny things are here to make us happier. Eat, drink, love, listen, talk, watch, walk, dance, etc. This is the LIFE.

My favorite motto is:
Collect moments, not things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling, meeting new people and finding new friends.

Interests

I really love books, music, movies, and video games. I have a small library in my room and plenty of movies and TV series on my hard drive. Couch Potatoes will feel extremely relaxed in my room!

I love cooking different foods too, especially foods from other countries and cultures.
My childhood dream is being an astronaut, because of that I love studying about space, astronomy, planets, galaxies, etc. You will find me so eager to discuss these things and sharing ideas.
