About Me

I'm a very social and talkative person. I'm silly and enjoy the company of other easy going people. I was born in Iran and finished high school there before I decided to move to the U.S. for college. After 24 years of non-stop schooling (including summers) I finally decided that enough is enough. I live in Utah with my wife, Salma, and our baby dog, Wufus, and work at a company that makes equipment for neuroscience research. If you've ever seen videos of people mentally controlling a robotic arm then you've seen my company product :).

We love great food and wine (I also loveee beer). Did you know that Salt Lake City is one of the greatest places on earth for beer? Good music can emotionally move me very much. In my next life I'm going to be a orchestra conductor. I enjoy all sorts of music from opera to heavy metal and everything in between.

I love the outdoors and have done some really cool trips in my time. I have all sorts of fun outdoorsy gear. I'd consider cycling and alpine skiing as my sports, but I also run a few times a week (I hate it!), swim, and x-country ski in the winter time. I used to be really good at water skiing, but I haven't been to a boat in a few years :(.

I travel the world and get to meet amazing people, learn about the different cultures, and learn a bit about of each language. I haven't been to Africa. I really want to travel to south America as well.

Currently I live with my wife in Salt Lake City, UT. Let's meet and make great friends.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life for new experiences. Be kind to others and treat them well, so when you die they come to your funeral.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to meet great friendly people and form lasting friendships with people from all across the world. I've stayed with a lot of wonderful people around the world and have made beautiful memories already. Looking forward to more.

Interests

The outdoors, music, people.

Music, Movies, and Books

Love all sorts of music. Independent films are my favorite. I'm trying to read more books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Canyoneering in the longest slot canyon in the world (Buckskin Gulch) in southern Uran on a 2-day trip, almost freezing to death and getting sucked into quicksand.

Teach, Learn, Share

Did you know that the less you wear the less cold you become in the winter time? NO ONE believes me until they do it. Next time you're freezing your ass off in the snow take all your clothes off and feel the warmth.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We have a big house with a proper master guest bedroom. We'd love to cook together and show you around Salt Lake City (work permitting).
