I am a student of Persian and Turkish in the UK

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing allows for interesting and unusual experiences. For me, the purpose of travelling is learning from other people and connecting with them. That is why I like learning languages too. Couchsurfing is a fantastic tool for such meetings and connections. Living in a dorm at University I haven't been able to host yet, but I am waiting for the time that I can.

Interests

I read a lot and have always been a bookworm. Love music too, classical, jazz, folk, electronic. Food - at home I am a vegan but when travelling usually just vegetarian. I love cooking for friends and family, and am always curious about new recipes and ways to do things. I also love the outdoors - walking, camping, sailing. At home I do lots of climbing and yoga, and have also started Kung Fu.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once did a sailing race that lasted five days in the English Channel and Irish sea.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to practice Turkish with you!
I can also cook, help you with English, invite you to my home. I am a good listener and am fine with silence too :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

My friends' parents always say I am a good guest! I am clean, tidy, helpful and respectful. I am a good listener. I like cooking if you would like to try some vegan things, especially Iranian dishes :) You will always be welcome should you come to my home.
