My name is Alireza, my friends call me Ali!
I was born and grew up in Tehran and now I am a Pharmaceutical student at the University of Torvergata- Rome.
Cycling, mountaineering, and adventure are inseparable parts of my life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to find my friends all over the world.
In hostels, guests come and go, so maybe you connect with someone one day and they leave the next. Most of my CS hosts I still keep in touch with and I know where they are so I can go back to visit them. This is true, of course, in hostels, but I feel the connections I’ve made through CS are a lot stronger than in hostels. A few of my hosts I’ve traveled with after staying with them and I’ve really enjoyed seeing them again.

CouchSurfing is a really amazing organization and community of travelers. Whenever I can, I try to find a host or meeting through CouchSurfing and I really treasure the friends I’ve made through CS.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books - currently my books are English textbooks mostly ;-)

Teach, Learn, Share

I am always looking for learning. I try to learn from my hosts and guests. In all areas such as language, cooking, travel techniques, and so on. And I try to share the experience I have learned with my other friends. moreover, always like to give gifts to my hosts and guests to evoke memories of our shared journey.
