About Me

NOTE: We are travelling from the start of August until the end of September so we won't be able to meet up until October.

CURRENT MISSION

To save the world and have a good time doing it!

ABOUT ME

Shiva: I lived in three countries by the age of 5 so I've never had a concept of home, instead I've made the world my home. I am originally from Iran, grew up in NYC and now live in Spain.

Ezequiel: I'm a professional Opera singer and composer and live in Spain with my wife, Shiva. I obviously love music but I also love travelling, exploring and pushing my personal limits. I'm from Argentina and all my 8 great grandparents come from Poland.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We've hosted people before and hope to continue doing so. If we can't host you, We'd love to just meet up and explore with you. Anytime, any day.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Awesome. Every time we host or meet another couchsufer we walk away with a little bit of something.. that something that can't be expressed. That something that is damn addictive.

Interests

Shiva: Writing, reading, music, coffee in its many variations, brownstones, traveling, sleeping, eating, saving the world, accents, cows, the color red, Gogol Bordello, Paul Auster, Dorothy Parker, Iran, history.

Ezequiel: Music, dulce de leche, Italian food in all it's forms, politics.

Music, Movies, and Books

Shiva: Peter Pan, Into the Wild, Going Postal, memoirs, books by: jane austin, roddy doyle, marjane satrapi, margaret atwood, joyce carol oats, richard engel.

Ezequiel: I'll tell you when we meet.

Teach, Learn, Share

We tell stories. We tell stories of life as a refugee and immigrant, of growing up in the "third world" soaked in thousands of years of wisdom. Stories of a world hidden from most. We think that stories are just words, but they're so much more than that; stories are the people's history. We can learn so much from so few words.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Shiva: stories and tools to make every international and human experience more rewarding. I look to cook and can share some amazing Persian food - combinations of herbs, nuts, vegetables and spices that you didn't know existed.

Ezequiel: I share the one thing I passionately love (besides my wife): music. I can sing you a Tango, an Aria or even some Sinatra.

Countries I’ve Visited

Argentina, Brazil, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Netherlands, Portugal

Countries I’ve Lived In

Argentina, Iran, Ireland, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom, United States
