I’m Ahmad — born in Afghanistan, shaped by the road. I’ve lived in Iran and Turkey, and every place left a mark on how I see the world. I’m calm but curious, chill but driven. I don’t chase trends — I chase truth, people with stories, and nights filled with real conversations. Whether it’s coffee under the stars or getting lost in an unfamiliar city, I’m always looking for something genuine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because the world feels smaller when people open their doors and minds. I want to travel, meet locals and travelers alike, and build connections that go beyond surface-level. Hosting or meeting people isn’t just about sharing space — it’s about sharing stories, laughter, and a slice of real life.

Interests

I’ve got a long list, but here’s what really fuels me:
Traveling – not just for places, but for people and perspectives.
Photography – I love capturing raw, unfiltered moments, especially night skies and city bridges.
Conversations that matter – philosophy, culture, religion, or just life’s weird patterns.
Books & Movies – stories that challenge how I think, not just entertain.
Languages – I’m fluent in English, Persian (Farsi), and Urdu, and learning Turkish. I love how language opens doors to understanding people better.
Simple moments – chilling with friends, spontaneous adventures, and doing the kind of “crazy stuff” that becomes a story later.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books & Movies

I’m not really a music person — silence and the sounds of life are enough for me. But I do love a good film or book that makes me think. I enjoy movies that show real human emotion — the kind that stay with you long after the credits end. As for books, I lean toward philosophy, history, and stories about resilience and purpose. Rumi’s words and Dostoevsky’s darkness both speak to me — in different ways, they both search for meaning.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Crossed borders on nothing but hope and curiosity — that’s how I’ve seen the best of people.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I can teach Persian (Farsi), Urdu, and English — not just the language, but the stories behind the words. I can also share insights about life in Afghanistan, Iran, and Turkey — places that shaped me deeply.

Learn: I’m learning Turkish and always open to learning new perspectives. Every person I meet teaches me something — about patience, humor, or how people see the world differently.

Share: My time, honesty, and a few stories from the road. I like real conversations — the kind that go beyond small talk. Whether it’s over tea, a walk, or watching the city lights, I enjoy sharing presence more than possessions.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good energy, honesty, and respect. I’m adaptable — I can bring my own food, help around the house, or share stories from Afghanistan, Iran, and Turkey. I believe in leaving people and places a little better than I found them.
