CURRENT MISSION

Getting involved

ABOUT ME

My favorite number is 254. I'm half Iranian, half Armenian, molded in Yorkshire, happy to call London my home. I like baffling myself by trying and doing new things. I believe life is meant to be filled with as many experiences as possible.

PHILOSOPHY

I have a few:

1. You're only young once but you can always be immature
2. Get involved
3. baffle the system

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

After coming back from an 8 month trip I still want to meet interesting people from all over the world.

Also, I've been to many places and enjoyed them all. However, London is still my favorite city in the world. I know how daunting big cities can be especially when you don't know where to go and what to do. So I want to help people avoid all the traps and experience London properly.

While coach surfing myself I'm interested in locals showing or directing me to the interesting things in their city. In exchange I'll provide average company and terrible conversation. ok - maybe i'll try harder!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

never really heard of couch surfing until late in an 8 month trip at which point I didn't have the time to couch surf myself. And then surfed around japan in 2009.

Have hosted in London in 2009 and 2010 but haven't done much since. eager to experience it again.

really really eager to host now...
