I am originally Iranian. I have been living and travelling in different countries every time life offered me a chance... I love to meet new people to share cultures, stories, memories, laughters and skills

1) PLEASE don’t send me requests if you are planning to host/surf/meet with the objective of having sex. There are other easy and handy platforms for that purpose. When you do so, your intentions can not be hidden and you make us female solo travelers feel very uncomfortable. 🙏🏾

2) please always leave a (honest) reference (even when you host). It is disrespectful to not write references. It is also disrespectful to rest of community to hold back bad experiences. I will always leave you a reference, but usually when I am back home and focused - no need to remind me to write you one :)

3) I ONLY ACCEPT PERSONAL REQUESTS. Don’t write me a letter about your past and future life plans (once we meet we can talk about those). Rather write me something that shows me you have read my profile or checked my insta.

4) I recently moved to Gibraltar/Spain - I’m not the local person or expert tour guide you are seeking for 😅

5) I can’t believe you read so far 😳🥺♥️
If you will be my guest: please be a clean guest 😝🙏🏾🧼 can’t wait to get to know you!!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because CS has contributed so much to my traveling life as well as my personality.. I will be always thankful to those CS angels who have taught me how to trust, to be generous and to care for each other. Even those less pleasant experiences (very very few) have been great life lessons for me. So far: zero regrets!
