My name is Cyrus.

I'm LGBTQIA+, etc.-friendly, antifascist, and Leftist. These things are important to me.

Vegetarian.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a traveler by both habit and blood; I've haven't lost the itch to explore, and I hope I never do.

When I'm somewhere new, I like to see it the way locals do. I want to know eat at your favorite tavern and meet the owner of the kiosk on your street corner. Let's hang out with your friends or go to your go-to chill out spot.
