Hello CouchSurfing World!

My name is Leyla. I am a mother of two and a lover of culture. My husband and I are both Iranian-American and love traveling. I previously lived in Germany for 18 years and am fluent in both English, German as well as Farsi and some spare Turkish.

I love spirituality, nature, and the outdoors. And, naturally, food. Above all I love meeting new people and getting to know their cultures. My dream is to one day soon visit India and Nepal.

I am very friendly and hope to gain the great experiences that come with travel and meeting new people.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

I strive to teach peace, learn patience and share love. There's nothing more important in the world than sharing kindness and love.

Чем я могу поделиться с хостами

I would love to share my own culture and experiences with whomever I might stay with in hopes to both give them insight on my culture and gain some from theirs as well. In such a big, blue and beautiful world I think it's important to meet new people, make friends around the world and share the beautiful and precious thing that are our traditions, beliefs and cultures in a peaceful and kind way.
