I love traveling and exploring nature. For over 20 years, I’ve been trekking and climbing across Iran’s diverse landscapes, spending much of my life immersed in the outdoors. My wife also loves nature and we like to travel together. I’m passionate about animals—especially birds—and I’m an avid birder.
I hold a Master’s degree in Biodiversity and Habitats. I’m also a certified eco-tour guide specializing in birdwatching in Iran. While guiding is a part-time job for me, it’s mostly a beloved hobby. I previously worked in a travel company, helping international tourists plan their visits to Iran. These days, I work in a non-commercial bird conservation Institute.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love nature, and I prefer not to spend my time in hotels. For me, travel is more meaningful when I can share part of the journey with locals—listening to their stories, learning from their experiences, and following their recommendations.
Couchsurfing allows me to connect with people, discover cultures from the inside, and turn each trip into a deeper, more personal adventure. It’s not just about places—it’s about people.
