About Me

Current Mission
Experiencing, Struggling, Loving, Seeking, and enjoying the magic of the universe!
AND- bringing one very special thing from each country or nation to my home :)
About me

Well, I have lived in very weird situations, so I have a lot to say and share.
I consider myself very ambitious, open-minded, adventurous, thoughtful, easy going, creative, known for my ever-laughing face, open to any new thought and culture. I find it amazing that different people can have different perspectives in their lives. I have been teaching dance in Iran for almost 7 years, it is a special work because there is no dance school in Iran! I've made a few award winning dance films that have been screened more than 100 film festivals worldwide. I am very independent and consider myself a powerful woman! More than anything, I am a MAKER! I can make things happen... this is the newest thing I have learned about myself.
I consider myself cooperative and I enjoy going to trips both by my own and with friends. Knowing and understanding new people, is just so amazing!

Philosophy

Experiencing the world can help people know themselves better, giving them the opportunity to become a better one. I sometimes wonder why I am living in this world, and I see that the most amazing thing that holds me here is the fantasy of growing up! Learning and experiencing, thus changing! I also believe that everyone has become who she is because of his past and how he was affected by every different situation. It is important not to judge people and let our love embrace everyone kindly :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since 4 years ago, I found myself completely interested in individuals's lives! I am keen on knowing other cultures and nations. It is fantastically amazing for me to know how do people think and behave! I study Sociology and have a major interest in Anthropology. I can love people whoever they are and would like to meet new people worldwide. I'm here to have a chance to meet people and of course, I don't have much money to provide all my costs :)

Interests

Thoughts and new ideas!
Dance, arts, novels, anthropology and sociology, meeting new people. hanging out with friends and EXPERIENCING!
and Clothing :D

Music, Movies, and Books

Anathema, coldplay, Beatles, James Blunt, Cible, Glen Hansard and some Persian singers and bands.

The most impressive book I've read... Blindness by Jose Saramago!
BTW! Whenever I feel I wanna leave this tough world, I start reading HARRY POTTER and I find myself in my teenage and feel free! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did not sign a paper I was given in Iran state university asking me to sign that I am not a Baha'i anymore to continue my studies at university and I would be a Muslim! I said, I am proud to be a Baha'i and I prefer to be expelled and don't lie and betray things I find them true. :)

I took some ballet photos in very dangerous places like electricity pylons and in front of cops without hijab! It was really crazy and I was about to be arrested when they noticed, but It worth :)
