About Me

CURRENT MISSION

my current mission is to live my life.

ABOUT ME

well, I'm me.
Nothing special, nothing ordinary.
In Iran, children live mostly with their parents until they've grown up enough to decide to get married, and that is when they feel the need for independence. but I felt it years back. I wanted to move away from my family, my country; away from all the people whom I knew!
I wanna feel free to do
as I like,
as I want and
as I myself decide..
makes you strong in many ways!
good experience.

Philosophy

with the hand u give, with the same hand u get back! :)

(What goes around, comes around)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd like to get in touch with people who may like to see my province.
Can show them beautiful places, natural, historical...
but I'm not able to host anyone in our house. Because in Iran we live with our parents and for some families, its a little hard to accept such things according to our religious beliefs & customs. However, I do know some good hotels & inns in which surfers can stay for a while.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

well, my first CS experience was throughout a Canadian surfer who later introduced me to the website, back in 2008 in Iran... later I met more ppl who were interested in seeing my hometown, so I met them and we went for local meals (I know some good restaurants with vegetarian food available too) in my city "Rasht", did some sight seeing, swimming in the Caspian sea, culture chat and so we created so many memorable moments. now I have so many good friends from all around the world :)

Interests

Driving, reading books, listening to audio books and podcasts, drawing, yoga, communicating with other people, talking, singing, leather making, sewing, knitting, surfing the whole world, biking, going to different places around, exploring new adventures, and finding new places.

  • deep conversation
  • simplicity
  • simple things
  • simple friends and friendships

Music, Movies, and Books

any kind of music, mostly rock(depends on my mood)
light family movies, comedy, drama, romance (especially ... fountain, jacket,the terminal,Forrest Gump,green mile, midnight in paris).
short stories, novels by Paulo coelho, and Barbara de Angelis's books. Ervin de yalom is a new favourite of mine. I've discovered and listened to most of his books (audiobooks) 📚

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I guess the most amazing thing I've ever done was to love a lonely angry black monkey. It ended he grabbing and holding on to my finger, wanting me to stay near the cage, not to leave him!! he even got jealous seeing me wanting to gently tap on the other monkey's head!!!

and once I saw a cat crying, I saw the tears on its eyes, and it was amazing but so sad... :(((

the free hugs session was Amazingly special... with all the tears, huge hugs, Loves and respects, and disrespects of ppl around... truly an amazing experience, thanks to Cs friends who arranged it. :D During the FH, I met a girl, and as we talked, we found out our fathers have been friends for more than 40 years, and we had never known about each other !
looking forward to see more free hugs events to spread love:)
