About Me

Professional herder of leprechauns with unexplainable ability to hitchhike upside down.

Kind of a disorganized and adventurous person.

Teaching IT in Prague, studied astronomy in the UK and Germany.
Involved in local theatre groups and organisation of local Iranian Film festival.
I love mountains, being outdoors and exploring the unknown.
I further enjoy traveling, listening to alternative music, reading postmodern books...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Slept next to the pyramids in Sudan, nearly climbed Elbrus, hitched an ambulance; joined random wedding in Africa, attended the first music festival after the liberation of Mosul (in Mosul, Iraq)...

Teach, Learn, Share

I can try teaching you some languages, climbing techniques and possibly other stuff - however I don't feel like being a teacher on the road and I'm up for sharing whatever comes to my mind.

What I Can Share with Hosts

One giant invisible pouch of golden (or possibly even platinum, who knows...) coins, you've never seen such a thing before...
