About Me

Yea I'm a Persian seafarer livin' my dream life on a sailboat in the Caribbean!🧜🏻‍♀️⛵️🌊 Literature, fairytales, music, theater, movies and video games are the greatest passions in my life. I'm a book-freak aaaaand also a SEAMAN!
I'm from Iran (Iran means "the land of Aryans") and Persia is the name that Greeks gave to my ancient land. Iran is known for its civilization, rich poetry, cats, carpets, roses and nightingale 🎼🌻
