Hi, I’m Mehrdad (Matte). I try to live life in a simple and mindful way. I appreciate meaningful conversations, quiet moments, and learning from different cultures and perspectives. For me, travel is not only about places but also about the people and stories we encounter along the way. My background is in civil engineering, and I currently work as an estimator in the construction industry. I enjoy the balance between analytical thinking and practical problem-solving that the field requires. At the same time, I believe life should not be only about work, but also about curiosity, connection, and personal growth. I value kindness, respect, and open-mindedness. I’m an easygoing guest who appreciates a calm and friendly environment. I enjoy walking through cities, discovering local cafés, nature, architecture, and simple moments like sharing tea or having a thoughtful conversation. For me, Couchsurfing is about trust, cultural exchange, and genuine human connection. I believe that when strangers meet with openness and goodwill, they often leave as friends.
