ABOUT ME

I am an educated, open-minded, approachable, and communicative person. Today, a colleague of mine told me I have a humble heart, which was very kind of her. I like simplicity and minimalism, so I don't need to possess much and I care about the quality of life more than hoarding unnecessary things. In a nutshell, I'm a global nomad with focusing on small things.

PHILOSOPHY

To use words of two wise men:

"To the person who does not know where he wants to go, there is no favorable wind"
~ Seneca

"I have one language, but it's not mine"
~ Jacques Derrida

Apart from that, wherever I go, there I am!

Music, Movies, and Books

Recently, I've been watching Iranian films and books about Iran, but I read and watch anything that is creative enough to take me on a journey beyond mere visual effects. Also, I fell in love with this piece (and the movie which it features): www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMc0SJg3XGo

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the best moments was defending my PhD dissertation. I'd worked very hard to make it happen, and I did make it happen! I've also visited, studied, worked, and lived in many places around the globe. All this has taught me simplicity, humility, and open-mindedness. I can also communicate in eight languages, which makes traveling much easier.
