I had my near death experience 2 years ago and since then I've wanted to live a life of purpose.

I'm a poet, an artist and an admirer of people who have dedicated their lives towards their passions and helping out this world as it needs it.

I have a compassion based startup that I'm working on called Compassion Crew and I want to make a dent in this universe.

Currently I'm working on bringing together some of the biggest names in the world to host the first ever Compassion Based Conference and work on addressing world issues (Richard Branson, Malala, Dalai Lama, etc).

I've also written a little bit about mental health on my blog @ https://medium.com/@shayanmehdi

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm attending Tony Robbins' event Date With Destiny and I would like to meet some awesome hosts who I can crash with.

I'm going alone and visiting Florida for the first time so I would like to couch surf just so I can be around and socialize with my host family aka the locals. It's a lot more fun than staying alone in a room without any social interaction. I promise I don't snore :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been a Therapist for children. I've learned so many things from my trainings and would like to impart that wisdom onto others.

Teach, Learn, Share

I practice Mindfulness and I teach others the power of empathy and how to lead more fulfilling lives.

My friends think I'm a very inspiring person and I like make others feel good about themselves and see their self-worth.

I love having conversations which excite the soul, soothe the heart and revitalize the mind :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a very easy going person. I get along with everybody and I'm a very well-liked person. I can share great conversations, talks about spirituality, sharing our stories in life and whats made us who we are today.

I'm an adventurer with a child-like wonder who wants to be around other likeminded vibes :)
