ABOUT ME
I believe that it is good sometimes we have to say out a description of ourselves it makes us to review all we've done & maybe revise in our personalities. I was born in 1983 Tehran-Iran & if I have to describe this region in one word, which eventually would describe myself, it would be the land of VARIETY, the oldest union of totally different nation,culture,language,RELIGION,tradition,food,fruit&colors where you can find 4 seasons at the same time but in other hand it makes the region to stay far from STABILITY, the last 4 kings of this land were died in exile & lots of similar stories of nation's wills that change time to time & me as part of it am not exception & experienced lots of changes in all aspects including field of study,job,the country I live... but there is only one stability in my character for whole my life that I AM TRAVEL ADDICTED. Still my willingness to travel even each single weekend is as high as it used to be but recently after having kids we prefer to host traveler as well ;)
PHILOSOPHY
Some for the Glories of This World; and some
Sigh for the Prophet's Paradise to come;
Ah, take the Cash, and let the Credit go,
Nor heed the rumble of a distant Drum!
- Khayyam
Happiness is not wanting everything, but wanting what you have.
- Shakespeare
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
As a member of CS community, I want to host travelers and help them in their contact with everything Iranian. I know Tehran very well and can show around, and time-permitting, I can go on travels inside Iran & its neighbors by car. It is a vast and beautiful country, and whenever I can, I go on some spontaneous travels around again & again.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've got to know about CS from other students when I was studying in Europe & I got amazed by its idea, then many different experiences with CSers around the world from CS gathering in USA to preparing a trip abroad for CSers in Iran...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
One amazing thing I've done is buying a car and going from US to Mexico, all decided in one afternoon (and crossing the San Diego border twice with one stamp, with an Iranian passport!)
Teach, Learn, Share
I traveled to almost all Iran provinces & neighbors & have lived in 3 different continents, I can share lots of information & stories about similarities & differences of those nations, also about Iran especially about Tehran because I was born & grow up in Tehran.
