"I'm an amateur science enthusiast. I'm not even a professional enthusiast. I don't know anything; I never even passed biology in high school. But I read the science section of the newspaper." This quote by Dave Eggers, famous American writer and editor, can kinda describe my personality and what I am mainly seeking in my life, learning more and more. However, this is not a point to stop for me. I love to help other people, get involved in different kind of activities, and be a valuable member in every community that I am part of.
I used to be a student at Arizona State University and I have the experience of living in the dorm with people from completely different countries and cultures. Two years ago, I decided to experience the Couchsurfing for the first time in my life and it was an awesome experience. I think I have a lot to share with you about Iranian culture and Persian language as a well as my funny experiences from traveling and studying around the world :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Have you ever heard about TED Talks? (If no, I strongly suggest to check out ted.com website)
TEDx events are independently organized TED events under the official license from TED Organization. I have organized two different TEDx events, one near Washington, D.C. in the United States and one in Tehran, Iran. I was the organizer of first ever TEDx event at Northern Virginia Community College with 6 awesome speakers and a team with different nationalities (https://www.ted.com/tedx/events/19460) as well as the co-organizer of TEDxKeshavarzBlvd event which happened a few weeks ago in the heart of Tehran (http://tedxkeshavarzblvd.com/).
