Overview
About Me
An Iranian by nationality, a young engineer by profession, a traveler at heart, an adrenaline junkie with guts, an ever-ready-to-try foodie by mouth, a Muslim with Omnism mind, a curious cat dreaming of peeping into everyone's life in this incredible world.
Philosophy of life:
"If you do good, it shall be for your own souls; and if you do evil it is likewise" (17-7)
Philosophy of hosting:
"Anyone who comes to this house, give him a place and do not ask about his faith. Because, as he merits a life next to the exalted God, no doubt he deserves a meal on my table." (Abu Hassan Kharaqani)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
In my opinion, Couchsurfing is about ideally making a new friend, getting familiar with different cultures and cross-cultural communications.
Interests
I am a curious one, I really enjoy learning the what/how/when/why it comes to people's stories.
I love meeting new people, hearing/sharing stories and learn from others. People never stop surprising me with their crazy adventures, and I am longing to create my own crazy ones too.
Personally, I enjoy people with a vast knowledge of the world, a critical way of thinking, and an ability to articulate innovative ideas. If you own any of these traits, I am sure we will have a good conversation.
Some more things:
I really enjoy reading. Consequently, I am a couch potato (or vice versa, who cares?)
I like to play guitar (Okay, I am just a beginner)
Like Scuba diving (already have PADI Open water certification)
Healthy life style (do Not smoke, and do Not drink)
Not a party guy
Vegetarian (especially during travel, in home not much strict)

well, since reading is my hobby it's really hard to name just a few, but to give you some idea I read novel books, and history, anthropology, and sociology are my interests.
