I am originally from Iran and currently living in Toronto, Canada, preparing for a journey through Central America while working remotely as an engineer. Adventurous, easygoing, and open-minded, I enjoy connecting with people from different cultures and hearing new perspectives. Back home I was an avid mountaineer, hiking 4,000m and 5,000m peaks, and I still love spending time outdoors—running, rock climbing, and exploring nature and wildlife. In my downtime, you’ll often find me watching movies, reading, or playing pool and billiards. I speak Persian and English fluently, and I am learning Spanish.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing because I believe travel is about people as much as places. For me, the best memories come from sharing conversations, meals, and experiences with locals and fellow travelers. Staying with hosts allows me to learn different perspectives, discover hidden parts of a city, and help me find new friends along the way.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’d love to share a taste of Iranian culture with my hosts, especially through food. Cooking Persian dishes is something I enjoy, and it’s a great way to connect. Along with that, I’m always happy to exchange stories, perspectives, and good conversation over a meal.
