I am Arghavan from Iran. I have a head full of dreams and I live to be free, I guess these two tips describe me in general. I love spending time with people,gathering, partying and having fun! getting to know new people, specially from different places really excites me, because I believe when we talk and share, we will find ourselves deeply similar to each other beyond all those differences.
I study theatre, I work as an independent art student also I work as a volunteer aiesecer. Plus I am a part time teacher for young kids, I really like kids anyways!plus my love to animals. travelling and discovering most of the places in the world seems to be my dream. I live with my parents but I love travelling alone,solo traveling makes u know urself much better.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

couchsurfing is a great idea that gather different people,all on the base of friendship,trust and peace.I believe by living beside a foreigner for a while I can learn things about life which I will never forget.plus I will know another country and another culture by touching it closely. And it interests me to learn their language too

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I participated in an aiesec project as a volunteer. I went to czech republic and spent 2 months there, each week working in different schools in different parts of Moravia. Me and my group(containing people from different countries) introduced our countries and cultures to the school students and talked about it with them. I stayed with local host families and moved from one to another every week. The whole thing was an unforgettable,precious, lovely and great experience
