Hi! I’m Baran
Originally from Iran, currently living in Canada — but my heart is always on the road!
I love traveling, nature, and real, meaningful connections with people.

My job is mostly in rope access — working while hanging in the sky — and sometimes I do graphic design too.

I’m into camping, making coffee in the middle of the forest, meeting interesting people, and listening to life stories.

I care about healthy living – I don’t smoke, I enjoy rock climbing from time to time, went hiking for years, love meditation, and I truly enjoy reading books. I'm also a fan of ping pong.

I also enjoy backcountry camping, and being on the water — kayaking or boating brings me joy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to meet open-minded people, learn from different cultures, and have meaningful experiences while traveling.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy calm instrumental music, nature sounds, deep ambient, and traditional music from around the world — but I also listen to all kinds of music if it speaks to me. I'm not fixed on one genre.
I love reading books about psychology, personal growth, and travel stories — and I also enjoy novels, poetry, and literature from different cultures.
Movies based on real-life stories, survival themes, and nature documentaries are my favorites. I also enjoy poetic or slow-paced films that make me reflect and feel deeply.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hanging in the sky during rope access work on the tower, was one of the most surreal and freeing experiences I’ve ever had.
Also, camping alone deep in the wild — making coffee in the morning mist with just trees, silence, and birds — felt truly magical
