Hello!
We are a young couple - Amelia, 31, from New Zealand and Laszlo, 25, from Germany. We've done a lot of overseas work and travel over the past 5 years or so, and for this current journey have been traveling for around 4 months through Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, and now India. We are both friendly, chatty and very interested in learning about other cultures, hence why we travel so much!

We hope to meet like-minded people and gain some new friends along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We are heading to Iran on the 2nd April for one month and would love to stay with some Iranian people to get more of an insight into the culture and people. We would like to share our experiences of the world with them, as well as hopefully learn more about the fascinating country of Iran.

The places we are visiting are Tehran, Kashan, Esfahan, Yazd and Shiraz for the first part of our trip. We hope to find hosts in these cities, and then head up to the North West, where it will be maybe less likely to find hosts there.
