Overview
About Me
I would describe myself as an animal and nature lover, curious to learn and absorb new concepts and information, and more importantly implement them in my life when I find them useful. I have studied Urban Planning and I work as a developer. This field change has made me grow as a more flexible and accepting person. I try to adapt myself to new situations while maintaining my integrity and living the life based on my values.
I like to know myself better and learn about myself so I can understand other people better. one of the ways to learn about human behavior is to watch and analyze animal behavior and I enjoy doing it. I also love getting new experiences in life and pushing my boundaries and limited beliefs and broaden my world, and I believe traveling can be a catalyst in this process. I believe in taking small steps in life and creating small habits that lead to big changes.
I also believe in the fact that all humans did not have a similar starting point in life, they experienced different family and social environment and had different levels of facilities in life while they have different needs in different stages of life. one of my main goals in life is to work towards more inclusivity and social justice in societies and living spaces through raising awareness or my field as an urban planner.
I enjoy reading, discussing, sports, learning about technology. I mostly enjoy reading about psychology, sociology and sometimes philosophy.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Every person is a book full of stories that each of them can open a door and set a light to a dark room for u to explore. once I read somewhere "first we make stories, then stories make us". using Couchsurfing I can read so many live books while sharing my stories and remove old stereotypes together to make this planet a little bit more peaceful to live in.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I've tried to make a tiny step every day towards a better ME and going to do the same for the rest of my life.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach some Persian or English if people need it. I also am skilled at art so i could teach a bit of painting. I can also share some experience about cooking.
I would love to learn more arts. especially pottery and ceramic art and miniature modeling, doll making, abstract painting and fluid art and spray art (is that what its called ? ) maybe graffiti. I also like to learn about cuisine and dance in other cultures.
