Dear friends, I wanted to share with you my experience of moving to Chabahar in Iran's Sistan and Baluchestan province on March 3, 2014. I have found a peaceful and wonderful place to live here, surrounded by friends and colleagues who make my days fulfilling. The local Balochistan culture has captivated me, and I am particularly fond of the serene shores of the Oman Sea. I am excited to explore more of southern Iran and discover the popular beaches of Makran from Goater to Bushehr.

Despite my busy schedule working on academic research projects, I am eager to connect with members of Couchsurfing. The vibrant social life in Chabahar has been a joy, but I apologize for any delays in responding to messages due to the social engagements of the local Balochistan community.

just wanted to clarify that I don't use a water heater for bathing in any season in Chabahar due to the weather. So if you're looking for a hot water bath, my house may not be the best option for you. I do want to mention that it's not that I have a problem with having a water heater in my home, it's just that my lifestyle doesn't require it and I haven't felt the need to purchase one.

I felt the need to address this issue after a couple of guests mentioned in their references that the bath water was cold. I had actually informed them about this when they first arrived at my house, so it was a bit surprising to see that in their feedback. Just wanted to reiterate that while I may not have a water heater, I do my best to make sure my guests are comfortable and have an enjoyable stay.

In Iran, access to certain applications is restricted, including Couchsurfing. If you need to reach me urgently, please contact me through WhatsApp or Instagram.

I can be reached at the following numbers: +989355435343 and +989117948418. You can also connect with me on Instagram at Hamzekhalili4. Please feel free to reach out, as I am always happy to meet new people and share experiences. On a lighter note, I must admit that I have a humorous lack of faith in psychologists and psychotherapists.

👉 I've hosted many guests from Shiraz and Isfahan, but I've only had nice experiences with those who were my old friends. Because of this, I've decided not to host people from these cities anymore. However, that doesn't mean I won't meet or interact with them in places like cafes or restaurants. I hope you understand my feelings about this and don't take it as an insult to their culture. It's normal for some people to not get along due to their different traits.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am interested in music from different parts of Iran. I like Hollywood movies in the action genre. I like glorious Iranian novels including the great writings of Alavi, Gholam Hossein Saedi, Ali Mohammad Afghani, Sadegh Hedayat and Russian writers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For me, the trip of two of my friends who came here last year in the style of Hitchcocker and after their hosting for a few days convinced me, and with this style I made an amazing trip to the mysterious islands and all the energy of the Persian Gulf. This was a turning point in my life!

May I take you to see the pristine natural attractions of the coastal areas of southern Iran and introduce you to the customs of local communities.
