ABOUT ME

I'm originally from Iran, but I was raised in Vancouver, Canada and have lived there all my life. Currently, I'm living in Prague as a student while I study. My major is Sociology and my life revolves around it. I love learning and trying new things which is why I guess I'm here. I've been told that I come off as shy, but eventually I open up and expose my vulnerabilities. Tend to get along with almost everyone and like to have a good time.

PHILOSOPHY

Corny quote I strive to live by:

"Those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind" - Dr. Seuss

It applies to everyone and everything!

Interests

I love anything and everything related to sociology and sexuality. Even though I study it in school, I still can't get enough. Social theory, sexism, racism, power theory, feminism, LGBT studies, public policy and activism among other things, are areas that I'm interested in. I spend much of my free time reading, watching a good movie, clubbing, dancing, or having a good time with friends. I like quiet nights in where I can just eat dinner and talk to a friend, or drunken nights out where I can dance for hours on end. I usually listen to electronica, dance, house or indie but am open to hearing new sounds. Always up for meeting new people and having memorable experiences!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Castle complex of the Prague Castle was one the most beautiful things I've ever seen. Hundreds of years old and unbelievably big, with the most amazing architecture. Not much else comes to mind. I guess that's why I'm traveling.
