Hey there! I'm Hesam, a passionate traveler and local guide in Iran, eager to make your trip here smoother and more enjoyable. Iran is a beautiful country with so much to offer, but due to sanctions, things can be quite different for tourists—no international SIM cards, credit cards, or Google Maps for public transport. But don’t worry! There’s a local alternative for everything, and I’m here to help you navigate it all.

Whether it’s getting mobile internet, buying tickets, finding transportation, or just figuring out the best way to experience the country, I’m happy to assist! As an active Google Local Guide, I also write in English to make it easier for fellow travelers to explore Iran.

Travel planning is a hobby of mine, and over the years, I’ve built good knowledge and connections that might help make your visit more seamless. If you need tips, recommendations, or even help organizing your trip, feel free to reach out!

I also dream of visiting every country in the world, so I’d love to connect with fellow travelers and exchange tips and support when I travel abroad. Looking forward to meeting amazing people, sharing cultures, and making travel easier for everyone!

If you’re in Iran and need any help, just ask—I’m happy to assist in any way I can!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that traveling is more than just visiting places—it's about experiencing new cultures, learning from people, and making lifelong friends. That's why I'm on Couchsurfing—to share experiences, exchange knowledge, and make the world feel a little smaller, one conversation at a time.
I'd like my guests to experience this feeling when visiting Iran.
