My name is Simon I'm a student from New Zealand traveling around the world, I just spent 2 years in Spain studying and teaching English and now I've come to Iran to teach as well and visit this beautiful country. I love everything related to culture: music, art,
Food, etc. And love meeting new people and sharing different ideas and learning new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was living for 1 month in the west of Iran and now I've realised how important it is when traveling to meet and get to know local people, traveling is about new experiences and half the new experiences come from the people you meet. Also I want to practice my Farsi!! 😊

Interests

Im really interested in Music, I play a number of instruments and love hearing new types of music that I've never heard before. Coming from New Zealand, I'm really passionate about nature and love to go on hikes and do sports such as mountain biking, kayaking, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent 4 days in the New Zealand rainforest alone and without proper shelter or anything to entertain myself with apart from an empty notepad.. just watched the birds and the sunlight pass through the trees!
