CURRENT MISSION

Life is dance. Just don´t breakdance.

ABOUT ME

I am very interested in the world around me. We Americans typically know very little geography. My father came to the U.S. from Iran in 1969. My mother was a from girl from Nebraska. It was like the MidWest meets the Middle East.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is like a box of chocolates...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to continue to couchsurf around the world now that I've had such positive experiences.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Staying Rebeca Suarez's place in Caracas, Venezuela was great. She showed me great food, music, and art. I got to meet many of the diverse members of her extended family.

Interests

I love dancing, skateboarding, surfing, archery, hiking, swimming, talking, meeting new people, enjoying art(though I'm not good at it), reading, and watching an engaging movie.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Oaxaca, Mexico I saw La Noche De Los Rabanos. Sculptures and figurines carved from radishes.

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe that every town, city, community I go to is like another world. It's important to get to know these places and their characters. Once you've really gone outside and interacted with people, it's like feeling the the pulse of the place. This will stay with you forever.
