I’m originally from Iran and in 2015, I decided to move to Sweden for studies. I’m a researcher within computational biology and am always curious about everything. I love hiking while listening to an interesting podcast or audiobook. Trying to travel and expand my boundaries as much as I can :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I guess similar to everyone else on Couchsurfing, to meet new people and get to know their stories, experiences, culture, cuisine, and personality. I both love to host and be hosted, as both are unique in their own ways. Furthermore, just the idea of helping people without expecting anything in return is very appealing to me :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Mystery-drama is my favorite genre, thriller is next. I admire Korean cinema quiet a lot, as they represent a unique, sort of distorted, kinda movies.

Regarding books; I love books in analytical history, personal development, and evolutionary biology. I’m also an avid podcast listener in the mentioned areas.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don’t know if it is “amazing” per se, but I’ve always dreamed about driving around Europe by myself. I finally stepped out of my comfort zone and did a two-month solo roadtrip :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m very open to learning pretty much anything, always curious and asking all sorts of questions. I can share a few stories and experiences of my own, not super unique and particular, but still quiet interesting

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a comfortable bed, adequate company ( not too much and suffocating, not too little that you’d feel abandoned), maybe cooking a meal together, watching a nice movie, roaming around together and sharing some tips about where to go, what to do, what to eat, so on so forth.
