About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living My Life to the Fullest

ABOUT ME

- I always wanted to have an unconventional and adventurous Lifestyle. in last few years I followed some of my dreams. I lived in China for 2 years and traveled around for a while. now I am much calmer, coming back to my home country, started to work on matters I like in a publishing house.

now I think no matter what I do, I should just be sincere to myself and live my life with no regret.

- I am not a party person maybe kind of introvert. I love nature and prefer outdoor activities.

PHILOSOPHY

- life is an opportunity to experience.

- I believe in "living in the moment" and trying to practice it.

Music, Movies, and Books

- I like Iranian and world folklore and ethnic music,
I listen to some Iranian "under ground" singers like Namjoo

- In western music these are some of my favorites: Leonard Cohen, Nick Cave, Scorpions, Queen, Bob Dylan, David Bowie,... and the french band Louise Attaque.
my latest discovery in crazy singers is Gonjasufi :)

- About movies, I just mention some of my favorites as I remember:
I like films by Almodovar, Kieslowski,Polanski,lars von trier and Jean-Pierre Jeunet.

I should also mention "Before sunset" and "once" which are my all time favorites!

- I was a terrible bookworm until my teenage and first years of university, reading every thing I found from all novels around me to psychology and philosophy. but now I prefer reading through life :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-leaving my Master degree in Tehran just before graduation to get a chance of working and living in China.

- leaving behind all my life and the "perfect job" in china just in one day after an emotional and ethical crisis that ended up to a wonderful month of wandering around in Malaysia and Indonesia. my first vagabonding
experience!

-A road trip in Yunnan and Sichuan in china specially that scary mountainous roads from Yunnan to Sichuan near Tibet border...

-three month of solo traveling in South East Asia, being deported from Cambodia because of holding an Iranian passport! trying again and make friends with some amazing people in the way.
