I'm not a traveler and may never become one.But I believe travel is a way to send peace and love and to remove stupid misunderstanding between nations.I really love to contribute all my little effort on that.

On 2016 we moved to Helsinki after two years living in Shanghai. Our regular life has changed a bit since then.

PHILOSOPHY

Just as different rivers all meet in the sea, so the different religions all meet in the one Lord of the universe. ---Swamiji

Things are as they are. ---Lao Tzu

Only from the heart can you touch the sky. ---Rumi

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing provides the easiest way to connect with the local culture and the people.

By connecting with people from the world, we can find our differences, similarities, and therefore understanding.

Interests

I always have special interests on Western Asian/Northern African/Middle Eastern countries. I found the culture and the people of that region the most warm-hearted.

I love Chinese language, reading and writing. Even the character itself is amazing for me. The more places I have traveled, the more I'm convinced that the nature of China is among the best in the world.

I don't like to discuss about religion and politics directly, at least not to give any sharp opinions. But I do like to hear different opinions.

• writing
• reading
• traveling
• chinese
• middle east
• cat
• traditional music

Music, Movies, and Books

For some reason, I'm really into reading spiritual stuff.

I do love classic music...but now I love my husband's music (traditional Iranian music) more than everything else :P

I like movies that could show me a different culture and world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled alone in the US in my 20 years old with my really shitty English at that time...and did crazy things.

I saw northern light in Abisko, Sweden!

I completed a ten-day Vipassana meditation course in Bangalore, and I survived.

OH I found the fellow traveler of my life in Tehran, who was my excellent host the first time I'm coming to Iran :)

It's always amazing to experience love and similarity around the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know China, and I've visited some countries with the heart, I can share my stories/experience/emotions.

I'd like to hear what you are thinking and how you see things in the world.
What is the truth of ordinary life in your country, break stereotype and what media says.

Typically I'm open to everything
