About Me

*I am currently a traveler so I cannot host anyone but soon I will be a host accepting travelers from all around the world.

I am an architect, earned my bachelor's degree back in my home country Iran and earned a postgraduate degree in robotic fabrication in architecture from the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC). My postgraduate program was all about 3dprinting buildings with robots by using local and sustainable earth materials which were so fun and inspiring for me.
Short after my graduation, on the 4th of April, 2019, I started my journey around the world on my bicycle and I want to continue this journey for two more years. In this new lifestyle of mine, I am a writer and a freelance architect.
I have lived my entire life dreaming about a utopia, full of nice, happy people, living their life in their beautiful buildings in a world free of poverty, air pollution, traffic jams, urban noises, and poor urban infrastructures. That was why I studied architecture in the first place to literally create that utopia.
"I am not that stupid to think that I can change the world, but I am crazy enough to work for that" Massimo Morety
I know myself as a friendly and outgoing person who loves to try new things, communicate with new people, and being socially active. So if you are from a different city, country or cultural background than mine, I want to meet you and talk to you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe strongly in the fact that I can learn something from every person I meet along the way. Couchsurfing is speeding up this process tremendously, sometimes in the most unexpected ways and that is what I really like about it.
