Hi, I’m Raha 👋
I chose my own name. it means freedom and I’m still learning how to live up to it.

I live and travel with my husband. We’re both Iranian product managers with a deep love for discovery of cities, cultures, conversations, and the small everyday details that tell you how people really live. We’re curious by nature and usually end up having long, thoughtful chats about philosophy, politics, or whatever life topic suddenly takes a deep turn.

If you’re into meaningful conversations, cultural exchange, and a relaxed, warm atmosphere, we’ll probably get along well!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing to meet curious humans from around the world, exchange stories, perspectives, and hopefully a few good laughs along the way 😊

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During the “Woman, Life, Freedom” protests, I was among the first women who openly removed the hijab in front of police and authorities, standing up for freedom and women’s rights.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning how people think differently across cultures and languages, and exploring the ways our environment quietly shapes and biases our perspectives.

What I Can Share with Hosts

How real life in the Middle East, especially Iran, really looks like, beyond media stereotypes and bias.
