CURRENT MISSION

To become a member of the proud nation of Vanuatu since some Macedonians (FYRM, no, North Macedonia :)) ) consider themselves to be Egyptians...

ABOUT ME

oh well, this is the part where I have to talk about myself, eh?:
So, I am a German with a Persian background, roots in Azerbajcan and ancestry from Russia. I am among the fortunate people who enjoyed their studies and work in the respective field. I find world politics fascinating, but no worries, only the really interesting stuff :P. I have a bit of an affinity towards poetry ( guess that is the Persian part).

I have the firm belief in unity in diversity, meaning that common humanity is not only a real phenomenon, it is furthermore strengthened by the great diversity of our lives, cultures and mentalities. Besides it is proven that: Mix Makes Beauty :-)

I am a MA graduate of international relations and international security (Germany, Lebanon, Egypt, Turkey). I did a BA in comparative religious studies and law in Germany and spend some time in various countries.

Currently I work in Germany as a security analyst and advisor. I also worked as a security analyst in Afghanistan and as a policy officer for NATO HQ in Belgium.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

After returning home to Germany from working abroad, I finally set up my new place and am happy to welcome you guys.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed one couch in Berlin and in Madrid and it was just splendid. I took over hosting for some crazed, fun and super nice people in Freiburg. My latest couchsurfing experiences were in Seattle, WA and in Fresno, California with outstanding hosts, proving again: It doesn't matter where you are but who you're with that determines a great experience.

Музыка, кино и книги

A bunch! But for all who understand German I truly recommend the movie "Stapelfahrer Klaus". Also, if you wanna see excellent acting in a serious and well made movie, watch "Sunset Limited" with Samuel L. Jackson and Tommy Lee Jones.

I feel attracted to subject matter books on world politics. For those who are interested in these topics, I can recommend Olivier Roy (1994): The Failure of Political Islam and (2001) Globalized Islam. Both books offer a very interesting and challenging view on how groups promoting an Islamic theocracy developed, why they failed and what happened afterwards.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

Being made fun of by children on the streets of Kabul in Afghanistan because of my Iranian accent. Priceless to hear their laughs - well, priceless to hear any child's laugh :-)

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

I remember one step dance that I learnt some 10 years ago :)) I am pretty fortunate with languages and pronouncing the most difficult sounds, so I can either help you or you can try me with your native language :D. If you like, I show you how to operate a drone.

Чем я могу поделиться с хостами

I am not very experienced with Frankfurt. It is not my heart's-desire-city but I am happy to help you navigate it. I offer you bbq and nice dinners and a relaxing time together. I work quite a lot, but I am happy to have a drink with you after work. Plus, visitors usually know more about the host's cities :-)
