Hi everybody! I'm Mona, an artist from the beautiful and ancient country of Iran. Originally from Neyshapur, I currently reside in the vibrant and enchanting city of Shiraz. Apart from being an artist, I also teach painting and art history at the university.

I am absolutely thrilled to be a part of the Couchsurfing community, providing me with the incredible opportunity to connect with travelers from all around the world. Cultivating cultural exchanges has always held a special place in my heart, as I firmly believe that the true essence of a destination can be experienced through the eyes of a local. As a Couchsurfing host, my goal is to offer a warm and comfortable space for travelers, providing them with an authentic and enriching experience during their visit.

If you're planning a trip to shiraz , please reach out and let me know. I would love to offer you the opportunity to experience our city through the eyes of a local. I am eagerly looking forward to meeting fellow travelers, sharing stories, and creating everlasting memories through Couchsurfing.

Safe travels

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because I have a deep passion for connecting with artists who share an interest in traveling. I believe that artists and painters have a unique perspective that can be enhanced through exploration and cultural exchange. By being a part of the Couchsurfing community, I hope to connect with fellow artists from all corners of the globe and engage in inspiring conversations together.

One of my greatest joys is experiencing new places and immersing myself in different cultures. I believe that by truly embracing the local environment, we can find inspiration and broaden our artistic horizons. Through Couchsurfing, I seek to not only have a fun and enjoyable time visiting various places but also to meet like-minded artists and painters who share a similar passion for exploration and creativity.

I am excited to connect with fellow artists on this platform, share our experiences, and create unforgettable memories together. Whether it's discussing artistic techniques, exploring local art scenes, or simply finding inspiration in each other's stories, I look forward to engaging in meaningful conversations and fostering connections with artists from around the world.
