Hi, I'm Mona, originally from Iran, now living in Siena. I'm a human rights activist, student, and retired martial artist.

I'm passionate about exploring new things and have taken on various jobs, learning from each experience. I love animals, books, chatting with new people, podcasts, and movies. Sharing cultures over wine or beer and the occasional party are my joys.

I'm here because I believe in doing good without expecting anything in return. I’m fascinated by cultures and love connecting with people and hearing their stories.

*Note: I live in a double room, so I can only host you when my roommate is fine with having guests*

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing to connect authentically with locals, dive into their culture, and make friends worldwide. I prefer genuine, down-to-earth experiences over fancy trips. For me, it's all about embracing the real and forming meaningful connections.

Interests

I love nature, traveling, and meeting people. I'm passionate about philosophy, poetry, psychology, and staying informed about politics.

Movies are a huge joy and inspiration for me. I adore animals and used to have three cats. Camping is another favorite, and I’m looking for friends to join me on camping adventures in Italy.

I’m a big sports and martial arts fan. I practiced Kung Fu, Wushu, and MMA for 13 years until injuries made me stop.

In my free time, I volunteer with NGOs and charities, which helps me feel connected and makes a positive impact.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’m here to be more than just a companion—I want to make new friendship 😊. Whether over coffee or wine, I love sharing knowledge. I can teach you trading basics, self-defense, politics, and even some massage tips. We probably have more in common than we think, so let’s create lasting memories and a lifelong friendship. ♥️
