Traveling is my big passion - meeting people, learning from other cultures and to understand who you are. Yet, it is important to understand the privilege of traveling as the majority of people will never see another country than their own. I always try to keep that in mind.

I was raised in Germany, but I also feel deeply connected to my parents' Persian culture. Ever heard about Persian hospitality?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined CS in 2008 when I was in the US for the first time. I'm trying to keep up the CS spirit as much as I can.
