There are two things in my life I am passionate about, travelling and my career.

The biggest challenge I have is to balance between the two as they may contradict at times. However, I am enjoying even the challenge.

At this stage of my life, I have two goals to reach:

1_to try and enjoy a new style for me of travelling involving me with more contacts and deeper connections with locals, with nature, cultural exchange, sharing and learning, embracing my fears by embarking on more adventures. This is all because I have come to believe that life is all about pure CONNECTION with the SELF, with PEOPLE, with NATURE.

2_I am also determined to make something extraordinary of my business in legal society in Iran as a developing country which needs pioneers to help it advance.

At later stage of my life, I am going to set a 5_year_backpacking_journey around the world. Hope the start day comes sooner.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Although I am a member since 2013, I never used the benefits of CS until recently when after some travels around the world, I came to realization that my travels lack a very important element which is being in more contact with locals. Generally, I'm an introvert but throughout my life I've been trying to gain social skills. Being part of this community is my current challenge for socialization with people from different cultures as well as it further keeps me in touch with travelling as a phenomenon that is meant to shape my being.

So now I want to experience the TRUST between strangers, to see people's real life, to listen to their stories, to share ideas and learn.

Music, Movies, and Books

Depending on the mood, I can enjoy any types of music but folk musics can enchant me especially while I'm travelling in the related region.

Depending on the paradigm shifts occurred to me throughout my life, I've enjoyed reading/watching different types of books/movies. To name some that came to my mind right now while writing this piece, I' d say Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera, Dogville by Lars von Trier, The fabulous destiny of Amelie Poulaine, Quantum Healing, 7 Secrets of Success by Deepak Chopra and most of Alain de Botton although the list is longer needs recalling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It might seem irrelevant to Couchsurfing community purpose but I would say that it was starting a business during the worst economy condition at the harshest sanction era in Iran when logically it was impossible in my profession to get even one simple step ahead, but I did it and it is going on. I am happy and proud of that as I could build ongoing and strong trust in relations with my clients who are esteemed global companies.

Other amazing things I have done:
- A boat trip from Chiang Rai to Luang Prabang
- Hitchhiking from Ardebil through Caspian sea up to Qazvin in accompany of a hitchhiker co-traveler from Netherlands
- Whale watching in Srilanka
- Swiming with Dolphins in Indian Ocean in Zanzibar
- Camping in deserts, in jungles and beaches in Iran
- Rock descending in Tehran mountains
- Scuba diving in Kish Island in Iran

Teach, Learn, Share

Philosophically speaking, I live to share my being ..... I live to partner every piece of joy I may have in hand.

Realistically speaking, I'd love to learn folk dancing, gardening, farming and cooking.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Thoughts, laughter, stories.
I can cook some simple Iranian food and some special Iranian herbal tea for us.
