About Me

Next Mission:

Cycling/Camping along the Persian Gulf in Gheshm island.

Im a girl pretty much like every other girl. I have my own world and i try my hardest to be creative and usually come up with ideas that makes people think Im crazy or (if they really want to be nice,) strange and weird.
Im very kind and dedicate my time to people and friends and I enjoy that.
Although its a bit hard for me to open up conversations and this makes me look a bit arrogant and proud. :)

Feel free to ask anything you wanna know. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Seeing the world is much more than the museums and architecture.
what makes countries different, is not only the streets, rivers, churches and stuff like that. it the people who matter the most.
and couchsurfing creates these opportunities to meet new people. not only around the world, but in your own country.
and I really dont like walking in the streets of a foreign country alone, so why not share it with a person from whom I can learn a lot?
I also think of things to do in every city I travel to. Things to remember that city with.
(I made a very amateur music video in Krakow with two Hostel mates, or Collected Dandelions in Nice to create my own dandelion farm and etc. )
I usually share this ideas in my private requests.

Interests

I'm a cinematographer so I usually have my camera and my sound recorder with me.
I play the cello and a very little bit of harmonica (which I usually have with myself too.) and I can say life would suck without music.
I'm also a huge Foosball [Kicker] fan and I consider myself a pro. :D

Music, Movies, and Books

I almost listen to everything. from traditional persian music to rock and jazz and hiphop. but my preferred genres are neoclassical, alternative and post rock and my favourite band is "Anathema".

In films and books, I dont really go easy and that sometimes causes long times of no reading.
(Not proud of this!)
my favourite novel so far is "The idiot" by Dostoyevsky.
I also loved "How We Survived Communism and Even Laughed" by Slavenka Drakulić.

My absolute favourite film is "The Science of Sleep" by Michel Gondry
and this is the IMDB list of my top 10:

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Taught Filmmaking to Highschool kids for three years.
Gave away "Free Hugs" beside the Spree river in berlin

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a analyzing Character. I want to know the structures and cultural/personal roots of beliefs and behaviours. I want to know the phrases and expressions that are exclusive in every language. I want to learn the sound of every language. Most known music in every country and maybe children's songs and lullabies.
And of course the same thing about my country in return.
It would've been perfect to cook together if I knew how to cook! Instead, I can offer a try to screw up a dish together! :D

And I guess everything else differs depending on the character of my host/guest. These are just general ideas.
