About Me

I am a software developer and I currently study master of applied computer science in Deggendorf Institute of Technology.
Unlike most people on couchsurfing I haven't been around much, I am unimaginably lazy and addicted to my comfort zone.
However, your comfort zone will kill you. So, I have decided to get out more and explore a bit of my surroundings every now and then, because our experiences, memories and knowledge are our only everlasting assets. And travelling has an impact on all three.
I consider myself an easy-going person contaminated with some sort of dark humor. I either don't talk much or I don't shut up.
My voice can't be heard in loud places and I am not in perfect correlation with my body parts, therefore I don't enjoy disco clubs, and other loud places. However, watching other people dance really soothe me.
I easily forget names, directions, and my studies. But I hardly ever forget interesting conversations. That's why a friendly talk over a couple of drinks and smokes while listening to some jazz, country, new classic or rock music is the perfect situation for me.
Since I was a child, I never asked to play with other children and I always wanted to be asked, and that caused me many unhappy, lonely hours. But it's never late to break a doomed cycle and leave behind bad habits.
So here I am, asking you to play.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

If you are in a jungle, a rabbit, an owl or a monkey could give you the best tips because they live there.
The same goes for the people who live, where you travel. They can give you the best guidance and tips, dos and don’ts and some information that you can't find on any tourism websites. That is the number one reason why I like Couchsurfing.
Plus, it provides an opportunity to really get to know someone beyond first name basis and make it possible to build a real friendship. Even for those who befriend others hardly.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I identified a couple of foreign scammers back in Iran, Then contacted The police and participate in the mission to capture them. To be honest I am not totally proud of it because I felt some how like a snitch, But for sure it was truly exciting.
