Overview
About Me
Hey there!
I’m Aref, originally from Iran, and currently living in Germany since 2023. I’m pursuing my master’s degree in Material Science at the University of Duisburg-Essen, and I’ve recently started working at a steel factory as part of an apprenticeship.
As an international student in Europe, I’ve had the chance to take short trips to countries like the Netherlands and Italy, both were unforgettable experiences!
I love meeting new people from all over the world and learning about different cultures and ways of life. I enjoy deep, meaningful conversations and am always open to new adventures, ideas, and perspectives.
In my free time I enjoy discovering cool and interesting places. Whether it’s a hidden corner of a city or a quiet natural spot, I love exploring and experiencing new environments. I love also to play Cards and Backgammon with my friends in our free times.
As a guest: I’m respectful, clean, and always open to meaningful cultural exchange. I enjoy sharing stories from my culture and travels, and I’m more than happy to help out around the house or cook together. For me, Couchsurfing is not just about finding a place to stay, it’s about connecting with others and creating shared memories.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Couchsurfing is a great way to meet like-minded people, build friendships, and create good memories. I’m always open to connect with amazing people around the world!
Interests

Teach, Learn, Share
TEACH
I can teach you how to play backgammon like a Profi! I can also tell you about life in Iran and my experience as an international student in Germany. I can also share some knowledge about materials science, if you’re curious!
LEARN
I’m always interested in learning about other cultures, local traditions, and different ways of thinking. I’d love to learn some local recipes, basic phrases in your language, or hear your thoughts about life, philosophy, or even the future.
SHARE
I’d love to share stories, music, meals, and good conversations. I can also share insights about studying and living in Germany, and I’m always happy to explore new places or just relax and talk.
