Hi, I’m Nasim Khounjam! I’m originally from Iran, where I worked as a data analyst and market researcher. I’ve recently moved to Genoa, Italy, to further my education and am currently studying Strategy for Technology at the University of Genova.

Traveling has always been a passion of mine. While I was in Iran, I visited every city in the country, and now I’m excited to explore the rest of the world! I love immersing myself in different cultures, meeting new people, and exchanging ideas.

Currently, I live in a dormitory, so I’m unable to host guests, but I’d love to meet up and explore the city together! When I’m not studying or working on data science projects, I enjoy hiking, photography, and cooking—especially Persian and Italian dishes.

I speak English and Persian, and I’m eager to learn German and Italian. I’m here on Couchsurfing to make new friends, learn from locals, and share my experiences with others. If you're looking to explore Genoa or just want to grab a coffee and chat, feel free to reach out!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think the history and culture of every country should be heard and learned by the people of that country. I would like to know the most folk tales and legends about any country. I love to have friends anywhere in the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most unforgettable experiences I’ve had was traveling from the north to the south of Iran with my boyfriend in just two weeks. We stayed in local homes and camped in nature along the way, which made the journey even more special. Another incredible adventure was climbing Damavand Peak, the highest mountain in Iran. Both experiences were challenging but deeply rewarding, and they’ve fueled my love for exploring new places and connecting with nature.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer valuable insights into traveling in Iran, including how to plan your trip, the best seasons to visit, and tips for exploring the country. Having traveled through every city in Iran, I can share local recommendations, hidden gems, and the best ways to experience Iranian culture, nature, and hospitality.
