My main passion is social justice and I'm super into Marxist and critical theories. I write short stories and do amateur photography. I am a philosophical person, kind of a nerd in social sciences, and passionate about other cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Iran is a complicated country, and I would love to be helpful to people trying to navigate it. I also miss diversity since being back in Iran after 4 years in Canada, so I would love to get to know about some other cultures.

Music, Movies, and Books

Ugh... Too many of each, I'll just give you a general sense.
Music: I mostly listen to pop songs and bands that combine traditional and popular Persian music (check out Chaartaar, Dang Show, Palette).
TV: My favorite shows are This is us, a million little things, himym (and himyf!), friends, that 70s show, etc.
Books: Too many. I read both fiction and non-fiction, NOT into fantasy or sci-fi.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelled to Canada alone at 17 to finish my high school! Also recently published a short story collection in Persian.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Farsi, cook you Persian meals, take you to the city and explain the complicated culture and politics of Iran to you. You will be able to hang-out with me and my friends and I will bake for you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My life stories! I'm pretty open about all my life.
I can help with cooking, shopping, housekeeping.
