I was born in a city called Kermanshah in the west of Iran. I was raised in natural environment full of glorious mountains and I was inspired by the nature and also literature of my country and hometown. I studied MA Persian literature. I started mountain climbing as I entered university. I taught mountaineering courses as well.
I also took ecotourism courses and learned a lot in that time. I have recently moved to the UK to experience a new life.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love books, especially novels, short stories and poetry. I am also a fan of traditional Iranian music, rock and pop. I like listening to Sting, Pink Floyd and Lene Marlin. Speaking of movies, I like drama, action and comedies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I established a mountaineering club, called Rira, a couple of years ago and taught related courses. I gathered some people around to do some weekly adventures around my hometown. But that was not just it. We operated tours in the neighboring countries, such as Turkey and Armenia.
