I was born in March 21, 1973 in Mashhad, Iran. After I finished high school and obtained my diploma in 1991, I studied Pure Chemistry in B.S. and Organic Chemistry in M.Sc. at Ferdowsi University of Mashhad. Then, I studied Organic Chemistry and received my Ph.D. in 1999. So, I’m faculty member and assistant professor of University.
I live with my wife and my eight year old son in Mashhad, Iran.
I’m a religious person and I believe in God.
For the first time, I have left Iran and went to Pakistan for six month, when I was fourteen. So, opened my eyes to a world outside of my country; and I was interested traveling and knowing new people and places.
I love to have lots of friends all over the world, and know more about cultures and traditions of them.
I’m relatively serious but friendly. I'm not squeamish in life and especially in trip. Also, I’m friendly and meekly.
I’m non smoker.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One CS member said that “God blessed me”! This statement is interesting.
CS was introduced to me by one internet journey site.
I've recently joined to CS (January 2015); and I hope to find here new friends and new ideas about new worlds and new customs. So, I’m here to become a new man and new personality.
I consider CS more than just a host and surf!
I’m here to explore and experience new and different cultures, thoughts and ideas.
I’m here to find people who look at the world like I do.

Interests

Learning... learning... and also learning.
We're here in this world to learn the best things and then, teach the best things. By learning and teaching, the world is going to be a better world.
Also, I'm interested in traveling, climbing, hiking, cycling, movies (especially classic cinema and movie), social issues, Iranian traditional music, and photography.
I love photography; especially nature and wild life photography and photography of historic places.
I'm interested to know the world through my camera lens and I introduce it to other people.
So, in journey's, I may forget my passport but I don't forget my camera!
I love nature; and also I love to revelation in nature and nature expeditions.
I love to environment and protect it. I believe that the environment is God's gift to us; so we must take care of God's gift!
