Positive thinker, peace maker. Open minded individual, not much phases me, only grows interest in learning more.
My life seems to be constantly changing but connecting with people remains.

Grew up in good old Texas to Iranian parents. It was as strange as it sounds. Moved to Brooklyn, NY in 2014. I live with the most amazing roommates from Colombia and Venezuela.

You can sometimes find me cooking with friends, attending art gallery exhibitions, attempting to attend drink and draw, stretching out my limbs at YTTP and sometimes going out for an Old Fashioned.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a 1st gen American, I grew up with many other 1st gens from all over the world, learning about their cultures and bonding over our common traits. Though we all come from many different places, we're all human.

I love living in New York City, because it joins people from all over the world in a magical way.

I'm currently traveling through Asia and looking to meet new people to explore with.
