CURRENT MISSION

planning on my next trip

ABOUT ME

I was born in Iran but grew up in Canada early on. Have visited numerous countries as a result of a scattered extended family, and always looking to visit new places and meet interesting people when I get the chance!

PHILOSOPHY

There is only one beautiful earth, and it's the job of humanity to take care of it so that we may enjoy and appreciate the breathtaking natural beauty and wonder it gives to us, and which makes our quality of life so much better.

If there is one simple rule that can maximize prosperity and harmony, it is; to each their own. We have a right to do what we like with our own life and body, so long as it does not harm others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

To find others who want to join me in seeing beautiful natural wonders and old cities. To make friends with those of similar interests and spend great moments together.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couchsurfing experience was in Utrecht in the Netherlands and it has been very great so far! I have couchsurfed a lot in the Balkans after that.
