It is hard to compress yourself into some lines when we all have so much to learn about ourselves. But apparently, there is no way out and that is the best we can do. So, here is what I tell people about myself:

I am Amir, a life-long learner who is bitten by the travel bug. I am currently based in beautiful Barcelona. I have been an English teacher for almost 11 years and have learned a lot from the people whom I helped. Right now I am teaching in the language academies of BCN and I love my job because I can feel the difference I am making in this world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am into meeting new people, getting to know them, and learning from them. Currently, I live in Spain and I would like to visit different countries in Europe.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I jumped off a cliff into the sea without knowing how to swim (I managed to survive :D)

Teach, Learn, Share

We all have stories, experiences to share, and many things to learn. I feel that CS has made it possible for like-minded people to unite and have conversations, no matter where they are from. It has fostered communication which crushes the stereotypes and helps us to get to know the real people of a region, not the fabricated image the media is trying to show us.
