Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

learned from a weblog

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It changed my way of traveling. When I was in China, although I stayed in hotel but using this great site, I met some people from US, China, Europe,... looking to know more about my country, language, people, religion. Also I met a cool guy from my country who live and work in Beijing. It was totally amazing. Also in my next trips to Europe, Armenia, Dubai and Turkey, I tried to participate in CS events and meet some locals to hang out and sightseeing. After these amazing experiences, I decided to host travelers when I have time and possibility in my home and stay with locals when I'm traveling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Recently I made a Europe round trip by car. Started from Frankfurt/Germany, I passed through Heidelberg to Basel, Bern, Interlaken, Lucerne and Wessen in Switzerland, Then I crossed the border to Italy and visited Como, Milan, Genoa, Pisa, Rome, Naples, Florence and Venice. Then I headed up to Vienna and Prague and finally closed the loop at Heidelberg again. I had this chance to stay with locals in Switzerland and most of Italian cities.
Totally I experienced more than 14000Km flight, 5000Km drive, 500Km train and 100Km walking during 25 days in 7 countries and 25 cities since 19 Oct till 15 Nov. This trip provided an opportunity to meet lovely people, to involve in peaceful European lifestyle, to get familiar with some traditions and to discover beautiful nature of Europe, especially when I was walking through forests and national roads. It was wonderful experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Persian language, Iranian cooking (just limited number of foods), web surfing tricks, and something about my job: e-commerce, marketing, sales and promotion.

I'd like to learn new languages, traditions and life styles.

I can share my travel memories and some travel "how to" lessons with beginners.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook, buy or share food. also I can share my limited knowledge on web and e-commerce. I can share my memories and experiences and finally I can share empty seats when I'm traveling by my own car.
