Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Already mind-blowned by California, wanna go on on that path!
ABOUT ME
I'm the kind of person who is not afraid of talking to strangers on the street and even make friends with them. I did not even realize it before my own friends told me- and even find it weird. I am genuinely interested in people and love listening to theirs stories and experiences. I don't take myself too seriously and am always ready for new experiences.
PHILOSOPHY
Life has to be a constant exploration.

Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach French and English, help with German and Persian. According to some I am not such a bad cook.
I feel more European than French, and have a Persian background-but without the stereotypes that go with it. I've been having more and more conversations on these topics lately, and apparently it makes people realize things that they were not aware of before.
I'd like to learn more of anything nature and outdoor related especially because I grew up as a city person and it is therefore a good way to expand my horizons.
