من بعد از ۱۶ سال به ایران آمده ام و حدود یک سال اینجا خواهم بود و میخواهم دوستهای جدید پیدا کنم.

I'm a faculty member of UVA working at the intersection of mathematics and biology. I also do photography as a (serious) hobby. I've wandered quite a bit in North America and Europe in the last several years. I can't stay in the same place for long and may move to Latin America soon.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet interesting people and hear their stories. I don't care much about finding free lodging for myself (although I like providing it for others) because I can afford to book a private place . I'd appreciate it more if you're willing to show me the hidden gems of your town. It's also a way of stepping out of my comfort zone.
