CURRENT MISSION

Following this idea: "A Globe Without Borders"

ABOUT ME

I don’t proud of my ancient Persian Empire background. I am not a NATIONALIST nor RACIST but a COSMOPOLITAN that follows the idea of "A Globe Without Borders"!
I dream about a planet with EQUALITY and PEACE for everyone.
I search for friends all around the world; of different ages, races and genders so that we can communicate and share our experiences.
I am a NATURE LOVER and would like to return to the simplicity of life as much as I can, at the same time trying to explore my instinct and find the forgotten human nature of mankind.
My major is ECONOMICS and if you would like we can talk about this as well as POLITICAL and SOCIAL issues!
I would like to know more about your CULTURE and TRADITIONS so that we can feel much closer by the path.

PHILOSOPHY

"If with wine you are drunk, be happy,
If seated with a moon-faced (beautiful), be happy,
Since the end purpose of the universe is nothing-ness;
Hence picture your nothingness, then while you are, be happy!"
KHAYAM

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have climbed the highest mountain in Iran and would like to climb other summits in other countries, especially in the Alps. Let me know if you have experienced this!
I am a cyclist and had many LONG BIKE TOURS in Iran and in Europe. If you are a cyclist we can share our experiences.
I can share my knowledge about my country and climb the DAMAVAND (5671 m) peak and other summits that I have some experiences in!
I can help you to know more about my city if you would like to visit Esfahan and see historic sights.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It is a wonderful experience CS. I liked this idea so much and I hope it can spread everywhere in the future. It is not just about finding a free place for passengers, it is something more for humanity relation!
Thank you, Kelly, my American pal who introduced CS to me in 2007, and thank you CS for those nice times that I got through this website!

Music, Movies, and Books

I prefer documentary movies, especially about tribes in Amazon or far villages in Africa who still have the same tradition or customs of themselves, but also would like some artistic movies of some well known directors, For instance: Modern Times (Charlie Chaplin), A Man For All Seasons and Behold a Pale Horse (Fred Zinnemann), Wild Strawberries (Ingmar Bergman), Dersu Uzala (Akira Kurosawa), The Godfather (Francis Ford Coppola), The Dreamers (Bernardo Bertolucci), Where Is the Friend's Home (Abbas Kia Roustami) and ...

I read many books but some of them impressed me more than others, like: 1984 and Animal Farm of George Orwell, The Little Prince of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

I love Iranian traditional music, especially Tasnif type
