About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be happier!

ABOUT ME
I'm told that I'm fun, maybe a bit noisy though. I'm eager to learn and discover... Trying not to be afraid of doubting. I enjoy reading (studied literature, duh!) and I adore cinema. And also I like all those lovely things like any other human being; music, food, peace.
I also do Yoga, Yes, it's lovely and helps me Calm Down, No, I'm not vegetarian. Well sometimes I am.
But don't think that I'm the sweet type, in fact I have all these comments on everything, but no need to worry, I'm such a huge fan of politeness and manners.
I really like to meet new people specially those who are not like me, and come from some other background. I'm good at making friends I think, I make myself at home easily and I believe being friendly is just the normal way to be (unless you're in a job interview).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Surfing and this travelling like a local thing is genius I think. In my case, it absolutely gives me the kind of adventure that I travel to have it in the first place! To experience the real thing, not some programmed image of places the hotels offer you.
And also I'd love to host people and meet them.
The fact that people are willing to trust each other is just amazing!

Interests

Classical Persian Literature, Travelling, Old movies, Oriental music.
