ABOUT ME

I'm a sociable person, I'm rather serious in first encounters but as soon as I feel the connection I can get quite informal and easy going, but overall I suppose I can be considered as a warm and friendly person (though one shouldn't say such thing about themselves!)
I'm from an average family, I live a normal life but I'm always trying to occupy myself with meaningful hobbies (mainly art as explained)to enjoy my time and to add something to myself and my living experience. I come from a family of five. I don't believe in religion, I try to think for myself and trust my mind and logic and also the persons I can be inspired by such as artists. I also enjoy drinking with friends though it's not official here!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short, try to get the best out of it, try to live a meaningful life (not just a day-to-day routine), stick to your own ethics but let the others have their own!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Unfortunately I never had the chance but I'm looking forward to it.
Must be both exciting and challenging to meet strangers and host them for a period of time.

Interests

I enjoy art in different forms esp. Movies, Photography, Music, Literature;
I like to spend my leisure time watching movies, making them these days (yes I make films!), and visiting Tallinn Black nights festival in Nov with my latest film! Also live music, long hikes, café discovering, etc.
I also enjoy eating out and spending time at cafes.
Visiting museums, art galleries, and historic monuments are on my top list while I'm on a trip.

I love this quote about traveling that my mom always says:
'Travelling doesn't count as your age!' or 'Time you spend on travel doesn't come off your age!' You get eth idea! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Decided to move to Australia seven years ago, now Melbourne is home and I love my life here.

Also decided to join film school in my late 30s Afterhours and it was worth every penny! I've been making films ever since and still trying to pay the bills with office jobs!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you a bit about photography. About life in Melbourne, maybe a bit about Persian culture and food (though I'm not a great cook).
I love to learn new languages and hear about each city's culture, hangout places, and vibes.
Always happy to go on a walk to discover a new city.

I can take your portraits!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can take you on a tour around Melbourne, its many great pubs, restaurants and ethnic cuisines, cafes, galleries and exhibitions, cinemas and so on.
I also can give you tips for road trips around Victoria but if free for a weekend could possibly join you for it as I do love a good road trip to the ocean, wineries in Victoria, or some lovely forests we have here (Even two redwood forests!)
