CURRENT MISSION:
Living in Tournefeuille, France (super close to Toulouse) for the next few months to learn the French language and culture. Please show me around - I like hiking, singing and dancing. Open mics anyone?

My name is Pardis; sometimes I say « Paradis » so people understand what my name means, even if they don’t speak Persian.

I’m always looking to learn as much as I can, by returning to the way I was as a child, with wonder and love in my eyes, for everything and everyone around me. Neuroplasticity is possible even as an adult. 🍄‍🟫

Self-reflection is a daily activity of mine. Why do I do the things I do? Why does anyone?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The CS philosophy “you’ve got friends all over the world, you just haven’t met them yet” is the life philosophy I truly live by.

Interests

Challenging myself to look at ordinary things in a different way.

Singing, playing instruments, playing on the silks (or ground…), swimming, paddle-boarding, hiking to see beautiful views, dancing, chatting with new people. Writing poems.

Languages!

Learning to make traditional foods from the country I’m visiting, or learning a completely new skill such as silversmithing, contemporary dance, etc.

• plant medicine

Music, Movies, and Books

Non-fiction & fantasy. Embracing duality.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Moving to a country where I didn't speak the language, then becoming fluent in the language
- Trying for round 2 now
