About Me

I have been passionate about travelling around the world since my childhood and that passion has been with me till now.

I like peace and friendship, also I am open to make new friends. I like to help others and get help when I need it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet, guide and host other people and learn new things through contacting different people.

As many Iranians I like guests, also when I am travelling I like to be a guest to get to know new cultures and languages from local people.
