Hello, welcome to my profile. I am Elnaz from Iran and I have been living in Ames, Iowa. I am an MFA student in Integrated Visual Art at Iowa State University I work as a designer and illustrator in different projects. I am interested in nature, music, art galleries, historical places, art festivals, and anything related to art. I love seeing new people, hearing their stories, and exploring the world from a different perspective.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think one of the most attractive aspects of traveling by Couchsurfing is the opportunity to immerse yourself in different cultures. By staying with locals or interacting with people from different backgrounds, you can better understand their ways of life. Also, traveling through this platform is a good opportunity for cultural exchange, language exchange, and making friendships.
Travel, especially through Couchsurfing, encourages personal growth and independence. It pushes us out of our comfort zone, challenges our assumptions, and helps us develop adaptability and resilience. Navigating new cities, communicating in foreign languages, and embracing unfamiliar cultures can boost our confidence, and expand our perspective.
