ABOUT ME

Hello Everyone!

I live in a beautiful city and would love to share it with the world. I will be done with graduate school in about five months and have realized that I just want to travel. It is my passion to explore other countries and cultures. I love to learn new things and what better way to do that than to discover the way others live in their own country by traveling and spending time with them. I want to meet people everywhere and want them to come to my country and city too!

I love to travel, read, write, practice yoga, take photographs, and run. I recently took up an oil painting class and I am now addicted to it. Gardening is also a hobby of mine. It gives me joy to plant, nurture, and watch my plants and flowers grow.

PHILOSOPHY

I want explore and continue to learn from others and myself. I love people. Differences intrigue me. I want to know what moves others, where they have come from.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am so happy to be here and am fortunate to have read about this site in a magazine a couple of months ago. Come to find out most people I tell about it already know what an amazing project it already is and have utilized it in the past. I am doing this to meet people all over the world and see unimaginable places.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This is just the beginning. I have friends who live elsewhere stay with me all the time though. I am a great host of course!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going to Iran every few years is pretty amazing for me. It is so different from the way I live in the Unites states but it is where I am from. Being with family and experiencing the culture there is very humbling.

I also volunteer at an orphanage in Mexico. Meeting and being there for these kids has definitely been one of the best decisions I have ever made. It is truly indescribable. I would like to travel many places to help children. They just make me smile and to help them is very rewarding for me.
