ABOUT ME

I have grown up travelling and living in many different parts of the world. I love airports, passing the gates to all the various destination and observing the people and thinking that in no other place can people from such varied backgrounds have their paths cross. I like cooking and good food often finding myself tracking around for hours in order to find the perfect place to eat. I enjoy meeting new people, learning new things and challenging myself and what I am used to. I love experiencing the natural world, whether reading about strange animals from the comfort of a couch or sitting by a lake and fishing. I have also recently discovered the magic of rock climbing and hope to one day start travelling for this purpose. I am a daydreamer, I can discuss anything from philosophy to politics and never tire of doing so. I feel alive when I am on the move. I live in the moment, perhaps a bit too much...

PHILOSOPHY

Reality is a reflection of your consciousness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I believe in Karma, and will channel on the positive energy that other peoples' generosity and hospitality create.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had some wonderful couch surfing experiences but its been many years now since I used it. I am returning in order to meet the beautiful people of Iran
