CURRENT MISSION

becoming an architect

ABOUT ME

I'm Amin. I was born in Iran in 1989 at noon! I moved to Armenia when I was 16. I moved to Malaysia in 2008 after two years living in Armenia. I studied English in Malaysia. In 2009 I moved to Rock Springs Wyoming! I went to Western Wyoming Community College for 2 years getting my Associates degree in Engineering. I live in Eugene, Oregon currently. I attend University of Oregon to become an Architect.
I like sports! I do a little bit of cycling and rock climbing. I really want to learn sailing too.

PHILOSOPHY

There is this line from a movie called "Crimes and Misdemeanors" that I believe is true: "We're all faced throughout our lives with agonizing decisions, moral choices. Some are on a grand scale, most of these choices are on lesser points. But we define ourselves by the choices we have made. We are, in fact, the sum total of our choices. Events unfold so unpredictably, so unfairly, Human happiness does not seem to be included in the design of creation. it is only we, with our capacity to love that give meaning to the indifferent universe. And yet, most human beings seem to have the ability to keep trying and even try to find joy from simple things, like their family, their work, and from the hope that future generations might understand more." I just think it's amazing to be a part of this experience of life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I rode my bicycle for 1000 miles from Rock Springs, WY to Eugene, OR in the summer of 2011. My first couchsurfing experiences were during that time and I absolutely loved it! I have hosted a few times too and it's just great.
