"Light a candle, don't curse the darkness" A Chinese Proverb

ABOUT ME

During the past few years, traveling has been an important part of my life. Trying to cope with all the new things a new environment, a new culture and new people bring to you has been my challenge. I think this couch-surfing can be my way of finding new friends and feeling I am home once again.
I consider myself an optimistic person, friendly and happy to help. I love meeting new people, experiencing new things and forming new friendships. I also love travelling. That's why I'm here, I guess.

PHILOSOPHY

1- Respect yourself.
2- Respect the others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

This is a new thing for me. I guess for a while hosting will be my only activity, or participation in the gatherings if there are any nearby. Most probably I will start surfing next year.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't had any yet. I only have heard how great it is from my friends who have done it for some time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have experienced a war in my childhood; It was an awful yet amazing experience (not one that I wish to go back to or wish for anybody to experience). But I think it has had a great impact on me.
Moving from my country has been an amazing experience too. This was a great one though.
I have had some simpler yet awesome experiences as well: I have waken up to the singing of the sparrows by my window, I have danced in the rain, I have walked barefoot in a desert covered with sand, I have loved and I have lived many beautiful moments.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can try to teach you one or two things in Economics (if you want to). I can try to teach you how to cook some delicious Persian foods or recommend you some good Persian movies.
