It's Amir. I started traveling since 2016 when I was 26, I know that it's quite late, but it's OK because it could've been started even later 🙂
In the beginning it was only about spending weekends in nature, hiking around the mountains, and meeting a number of friends. Then, I became a backpacker. It helps me step out of my comfort zone, face some of my fears, and even reconsider my values in my life.
I think all trips I had, all people I met, and all rhe stories and memories have gradually changed my personality.

That simple makes me happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to hear other people's stories from their trips. Also, finding friends with similar concerns here in France.

Teach, Learn, Share

I came here in France to study a master in a new challenging field, and I passed all the courses :)

It might seem simple, but it was really challenging! The next challenge would be learning French language in 2 years
