Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I think to capture the true spirit of life in any place you should live with the residents. I started hosting surfers when I lived in Iran. I had amazing experiences with couch surfing and have found fabulous friends.
Couchsurfing has helped me discover the world through the perspective of the locals and travelers.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

- Camped in the mountains of Switzerland under a glacier.
- During one of my road trips in Iran, we were driving at night in the middle of nowhere far from any town or village in the mountains. The sky was so clear and full of stars. made us stop, turn off the lights and stare at the stars in complete darkness for half an hour.
- Reunited with my friends from different countries in Istanbul. we had an amazing week.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

what can be better that sharing food? I would love to make you a good Iranian dish and then share our stories about our travels and life on the table.
I love to learn about different countries and languages and talk about mine.
Language learning exchange would be great too. We can start from the essentials: insults. lol
I can teach you whatever I know about arts, graphic design and typography.
I can also teach you photography and Beshakn (Iranian finger snap) too:
