About Me

***** I'M NOT USING COCHSURFING AS A DATING PLATFORM. IF YOU ALREADY HAVE SUCH INTENTIONS, PLEASE DO NOT ACCEPT TO HOST ME" ****** I have to mention this because I have had too much experince with this and I simply want to use couchsurfing for what it is made for: a couch and meeting great locals etc.

ABOUT ME

Half danish/ half persian a.k.a persian viking 🙆‍♀️

Bachelor degree in Anthropologhy. But have had some gap years with travel, temporary work as a personal assistent (disabled ppl). Now in a progress of reinventing myself and finding my own authencity before deciding the next step.

I'm really not a fan of describing myself but here we go:

in the eyes of most of my friends "a mama bear" hah! I see myself quite a mix. I can both be quiet and calm being in my "hippie" vibe but can also be a joker with a sailers mouth as one of my friends so nicely puts it 😅 In the same way I enjoy both the more trivial/silly and more deeper/serious talks.

In my spare time I like to cook- my food has to be spicy, so my challenge at the moment is to keep it simple. But I must say, I think I'm a female version of the chef Yotam Ottolenghi 🤣Not much Danish about me on that account. And of course this is all while dancing to Spanish reaggaeton ... ok I know the lycris is baah but the rythm just makes me 💃 oh also I mostly eat vegetarian but I'm not the "lecturing type" about it. I like to share food and if you prefer making meat etc. We can make seperate meals, no problem!
Besides that despite the fact that I'm not a religious person I have the past 5 years had a major interest and ressonance in healing and spirituality. It has been a gift and way for me to go inward and start a lifestyle of selfdevelopment.

“The true meaning of life is to plant trees under whose shade you do not expect to sit.”- Nelson Henderson.

I love travelling and meeting other people from different cultures- it gives you a completely different view of the world and understanding of yourself. I highly appreciate authencity and can't see myself doing charter travels. I want the real local deal and meet different souls along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm couchsurfing at this time but can't host at the moment - love to when I move to a bigger place though!

I have been hosted in oporto, santiago de compostela, Lisboa, Barcelona and in baiona - all great experiences with great hosts! I respect when my host is busy but I love to share experiences and hang out with the host as well. So far I have spent time with all the hosts I have visited and that has been amazing!

couchsurfing gives you a great opportunity to meet people and explore a new place from a local view . Far greater experience than just booking a hotel room and be a real turist in my opinion! Of course when visiting other countries some tourist attractions are exciting but I love to go to more authentic/local spots and get deeper sense of a place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I changed my name, in order to be able to visit my fathers country, Iran. Bureaucracy is a bitch, but hey how often do you get to pick your own name.

Teach, Learn, Share

* I like to share danish/persian culture/food and great conversations

* I would love to learn new things like permaculture, selfsuffiency, surfing, yoga, photohraphy, etc. Surprise me

What I Can Share with Hosts

I think everyone can share something even if they don't know what exactly.
you never know what a stranger know already. So I guess our meeting will show what we can share :)
Though I will gladly cook a dish for my host and share my culture!

Austria, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, England, France, Germany, Hungary, Iran, Ireland, Italy, Paraguay, Portugal, Scotland, Slovenia, Spain, Turkey
