Hello^^ wooo my name is Jahan Rezakhanlou but just call me Harry ! I'm a european born iranian living in australia! Even though I was born in Netherlands, I have lived in geneva, switzerland for 12+ years-i guess you can kind of call it my home.

My friends and family say im weird and that i dont behave like typical iranian or swiss ! but im just harry loulou _!-!_!_

But it's pretty hard to describe oneself, so I guess you'll have to meet me and find out for yourself! If you've seen my account do send me a message! I hope we can be friends!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Its such a cool idea,,, i= have met so many fantastic friends via cohchsurfing now and I love meeeting people and hearing their stories .

Interests

-I drink so much tea, and I love making it especially ice tea , so much so that the dentist thought i was a heavy smoker because my teeth went a bit black....

-I really like eating nice food (when I can afford it) if its in a restaurant or home cooked (I also love cooking). I always feel a bit guilty if I buy an instant meal from the supermarket.

-I do love walking around a city and getting a bit lost, and do extra exploring by climbing buildings.

-watching football!! My favourite teams are galatasaray, Manchester city, esteghlal and team melli (Iranian national team).

I enjoy fashion, I like colourful designs as well as simple ones. I want to learn more about fashion though!

-i love collecting roadsigns, but i often have to say goodbye to them.

Soooo much more ! I've you've read through all of this, well done!!!

Music, Movies, and Books

-I love all genres of music (from black metal to kpop or hip hop to bop jazz!) and I have a large collection 250+gb . I've seen lots of live concerts. I also go to many music festivals, my favourite is called melt which is outside berlin.

The best concerts I've seen in my life were:
Death Grips
Bonaparte
Owiny Sigoma Band
LCD Soundsystem
Crystal Castles

-I watch lots of turkish dramas and animes, but im happy with whatever movie as long as it is nice-sorry movie buffs, i know im iranian but i seriously dont watch every single iranian movie out there. you probably know more about iranian movies than i do.

-i read quite a bit, mostly books from the "classics" right now I'm rereading chronicle of a death foretold.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've climbed up to the roofs of the highest university of Melbourne buildings!

I hitchhiked from Geneva to Madrid just to see my beloved galatasaray get crushed by Real Madrid.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach all about Iran, and other places in the middle east and central Asia and maybe europe since i lived most of my life!

Jazz improv!

I guess what im studying?

Any of the languages above I can try to teach ;)

What I Can Share with Hosts
