About Me

I'm an easy-going, uncomplicated, and open-minded person. I love adventure and love traveling alone, but should say that it's kind of new for me. So my current mission is to live more like CS culture :) Of course it's great to know about different countries, their histories, cultures, and traditions, but just meeting people and listening to their stories, travel stories, upbringings, and opinions on any topic is very interesting to me too. I like to hangout with locals in different cities and travelers to where I live and explore the city with them. I also like conversations over coffee very much.
I haven't had the chance to travel to many countries so far. I only lived in Iran and US, but I like to experience living in some other countries too and I try to make this happen. I really like to visit South American countries. One of my childhood dreams was traveling throughout Europe by train and I look forward to doing that too. Also, the longer I live far from the Middle East the more I miss it. I love to go back there some day and visit those countries. I love the Middle Eastern music and would be happy to share some music with you if you're interested. I'm not a foodie but Middle Eastern food is too especial not to be my favorite.
Recently, I started learning Spanish. I hope some day soon I will be able to have my conversations in Spanish with those of you who speaks the language.
Also, I'm a nature lover and I'm up for any hiking plan during weekends :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to travel alone and meet locals and experience the city with their company. I also like to meet travelers to where I live, have conversations with them, hear their stories, and explore the city with them. I have had a few experiences in CS and all were simply great :)

  • wildlife

  • nature
  • streetart
  • street food
  • nature walks
  • food and drinks

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Most of the times I listen to traditional music of my country, Iran. Other than that I like any kind of music and I'm willing to go to musical events and festivals.
Movie: I like any genre of movie, especially historical movies. My most favorite (better to say impressive) movie is Schindler's List.
Book: I like novels and biographies. I don't usually read best-sellers. I usually have some books names in my mind (a friend suggested in the past, or I heard something about it, etc.), and something reminds me of it and I just go to the book store and buy the used version. I LOVE the Strand book store in NYC :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

desert camping! I did it years ago and I still believe it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm willing to learn about the culture, traditions, local foods, and music of your city/country, and I would be happy to talk about mine. We can also cook some food, which is popular in your city/country or mine. Also I'm very willing to practice a little Spanish with you if you speak the language (I'm a beginner :) ).

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would be happy to hang out, talk about everything, and share some music.
