I am traveling in Iran for the very first time and enjoy wonders and scenics. I would be keen on discovering Iranian people as well as they are the country. I have been discovering Iran through movies - Kiarostami for instance or graphic novels (Satrapi, Abirached...). Documentaries about geographic definitely convinced me to come in your country.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Where have I already slept in this world ? On a comfortable matress, under a tent, amid camels, in the tunisian desert. In a five stars Hotel in Shanghai, above the cityscape. In a lonely yurt lost on a grassland in Inner-Mongolia. In a youth hostel in the chinese Yuannan province, surrounded by noisy backpackers. But never on a couchsurfing ! so you might wonder why. Basicaly, just because it would be non-sense to miss the legendary iranian hospitality.

Interests

I like taking photos, reading classics.

Traveling is the big thing of my life as I have always been teaching abroad leaving France in 2006. I have taught in French and international schools in Tunisia, Turkey, USA, Poland and lastly China.
