About Me

Hey there! I'm a bookworm who's always up for a lively debate on social science, If you're looking for a philosophical chat about the relationship between morality and reason in daily life, text me ;)

As a hitchhiking fanatic, I've mastered the art of thumbing rides and love to explore new places and avoid for some moments from predetermined life!

Current mission? Seeing EU!
Next mission? Seeing Central Asia!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Why am I Couchsurfing, you ask? Well, first of all, have you seen the price of hotels these days? haha.

But in all seriousness, Couchsurfing gives me the chance to explore our amazing planet and experience different cultures like a local.

And let's not forget the best part - meeting adventurous people who are just trust you and you trust back only relaying by "Community Trust" and "Social Contribution"! It's still amusing for me as a sociology student, how things like wikipedia, linux community, and CS works? any idea?

Music, Movies, and Books

When it comes to music, I'm all about the Middle Eastern classics. There's just something so magical and enchanting about the traditional sounds of the Se'tar that speaks to my soul. I'm playing Se'tar and considering Oud for a sometime. BUT, If you're curious about my general music taste, you can check out my Spotify playlist at the address:

And when it comes to books, I'm all about the social evolution fan. I love diving deep into the inner workings of human society and exploring how we got to where we are today. It's like a giant puzzle that's always evolving and changing, and I can't get enough of it. have you ever read a Social Leap?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

That's a tough one because I've done so many amazing things! haha. But if I had to pick one, I'd say it's organising and hosting TEDx events.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am all about sharing my knowledge and experiences with others. And let's be real, sometimes I can get a little too passionate about it. I mean, have you seen my blog? It's filled with long essays that could probably rival the length of a Persian novel:

I promise it's all worth it. If you're up for the challenge of translating it, you might just learn a thing or two about social evolution, the Middle East's rich cultural heritage, and how society works and life philosophy stuff.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm like a walking encyclopaedia of useless information! from the history of ancient Persia to how our brain decision making system works.

I can also share my passion for cooking, especially when it comes to Middle Eastern cuisine. My award-winner cuisine? could vegan soup: "AbDoughKhiar" which means literally "Water, Yoghurt, Cucumber" =))
