Hello! I’m a 28yo non-smoking student from Copenhagen, Denmark. Besides my studies I'm a Student/Research Assistant at The David Collection where we have a wonderful collection of Islamic Arts. I love sports, especially football, and I read a ton of books. A bit of a nerd! Born in Denmark to Persian parents. Very chill guy who just wants to learn about new cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new, cool people! Goethe once said that to love a new place, you have to love it’s people first, so this should be a good way to get to know them better! .... buuut also to make a poor student's vacations a bit cheaper. 🙈

Interests

Football, literature and journalism.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I have a large variety of musical taste... everything from classical to pop, to be honest!
Movies: same as music, I can watch any movie and become sentimental, haha.. recently I watched the Japanese movies Perfect Blue and Paprika, and they were incredible!
Books: I read like 50 a year, so hard to pick and chose. If I had to pick 5 favorite authors it would have to be Albert Camus, Fjodor Dostoyevsky, Leo Tolstoy, Orhan Pamuk and Federico Garcia Lorca. I also love (of course) ancient Persian poetry. Modern Iranian writers like Shahrnush Parsipur are also great.

(really, I can talk literature for hours, so I better stop here..)
