Just moved to Calgary from Tehran. Back in Iran I was living with my partner for 4 years. We hosted many groups from all around. We shared the profile: couchsurfing.com/people/BehnazBehesht . You can look it up, since all our references are there.

Since it is only a month I have moved away, I am trying to find people in Calgary to hang out with, go hiking and camping together. I am passionate about deep intimate conversations, hearing your life stories, and sharing love.

Well for now I am not hosting, since I only have a couch on which I sleep. And there is no carpet on the floor, so I think you want to have some mercy on your back and not stay with me. :D But if you are the kind with a hard skin, I will be more than happy to have you over.

My partener is such a great cook, and I was living with him for 4 years, so you get the gist. I love to cook while having folk over.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitch hiked from east in Turkey all the way down to the Mediteranian sea, took the coastal line to the west and back up to Istanbul for 3 weeks. AMAZING LAND. AMAZING PEOPLE.
Sat on the edge of a cliff, very very high above where the water met the sands, on an island, south of Iran, and watched the sun set.

Teach, Learn, Share

Amin is a sucker for traditional medicine; how the body relates to the mind, and how the state of mind relates to the body, how we can do so little and earn so big. Herbal drinks are on the top of our list.

Human Race: evolution, brain system, and psychology drive me crazy. They just found a tooth of a human 9.7 million years old. Holy crap. So much we don't know.
