Understanding that nothing is as it seems
Teach, Learn, Share
I would like to share my knowledge about Sufism and Iranian culture, festivals and spirituality with my guests. I can introduce you to interesting places around Mashhad. I would like to get to know new beliefs, cultures and lifestlyes and practice my English at the same time.

I can cook you a delicious vegetarian Iranian dinner.
My Interests
I would like to understand where I have come from and where I will return. And to find what is my purpose in this world.. Nine years ago I wanted to live life with kindness towards all living beings, so I became a vegetarian.
