Hey, I’m Shab. Originally from Iran and now living in the UK 🇬🇧

I work in growth marketing and SEO, but outside of work I’m much more into real life experiences, meeting people, exploring cultures, and seeing how others live.

I enjoy simple but meaningful things like walking, hiking, and birdwatching, especially in nature. I also love painting, writing, storytelling, music, and photography. Anything that helps me observe and capture moments.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m not just traveling to see places, but to connect with people. I’d love to experience local life, share stories, and be part of small everyday moments.

I’m respectful, clean, and easy to get along with, and always curious to learn something new from the people I meet 🙂

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I immigrated to the UK with my husband, and it’s something I’m really proud of. It pushed me to break many personal barriers, step out of my comfort zone, and see the world in a much more open and flexible way. It hasn’t always been easy, but it’s been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’ve taught SEO to over 100 students before, so I enjoy sharing what I know. I’m also always learning from others, whether it’s skills, perspectives, or everyday life experiences. I believe everyone has something valuable to teach.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’d love to share stories from my life and my homeland, Iran, as well as my passion for photography and a bit of birdwatching.
