About Me

I work two 'jobs'. The one, as a 3D printing journalist, and the other, as the founder of a business that creates contemporary Persian carpets in collaboration with artists from around the world. I am most likely traveling and looking for artists to work with!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m looking for a place to stay in New York, and Los Angeles, while I am there for meetings with potential partners for my start-up. I have invested all of my money into my business, and cannot afford the high accommodation prices in the US at the moment.. I can compensate with Delta points though! Haha

Teach, Learn, Share

Not sure what this section is for exactly but I am currently learning Mandarin in order to be able to communicate with half the population. I suppose the teaching and sharing will come after (and during) my travels in Asia and around the world through meeting people.
