I’m currently in London and will return to Tehran by October 27th, 2025. From October 30th onwards, I’ll be available to offer a cosy place to stay :)

My life’s a fun mix of diplomacy by day and adventure whenever I can get away! Working in an international environment keeps me connected to the world, but my soul’s always chasing the next thrill, whether it’s scuba diving, free diving, camping under the stars, or getting lost in nature. Staying active keeps me grounded, swimming, tennis, hiking (especially if there's a view!) are all part of my rhythm.
I’m also super passionate about photography. Street scenes, nature, portraits,… you name it. I’ve been told I’ve got a good eye, and I’ll take it! Ocean conservation is close to my heart too. As an ocean activist, I love using my voice to spread awareness and push for more sustainable ways to protect our blue planet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because life’s too short for boring hotel lobbies and solo sightseeing! I love connecting with fellow travelers, swapping crazy stories over a good cup of coffee (or maybe something stronger 😄), and diving into spontaneous adventures, whether that means a last-minute road trip, late-night laughs, or camping under the stars.
For me, the best part of travel isn’t just the places, it’s the people. Couchsurfing lets me experience cities through local eyes, find hidden gems I’d never discover on my own, and be part of a global community that’s open, curious, and full of good vibes. Let’s make some memories!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

As a certified PADI diver, both in scuba diving and free diving, one of the coolest things I’ve ever done was scuba diving into the stunning caverns (known as the cenotes) of Mexico! It was like stepping into a secret underwater world, and I swear, not many get to experience that kind of magic. I’ve also taken my free diving to new depths—literally! I hit a personal record of 24 meters deep with just one breath, and trust me, it was a rush like no other!

Also, learning to freedive and slowly building the ability to go deeper and stay longer underwater, all on a single breath. What started as a fascination turned into a personal challenge: calming my mind, training my body, and trusting the ocean. Eventually, I managed to dive down to 24 meters with no tank, no bubbles, just focus, stillness, and the sound of my heartbeat. There’s something incredibly freeing about that moment when you realize how far you’ve come, both above and below the surface.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach:
I’m all about diving into adventure, literally! If you’ve ever been curious about freediving or scuba diving, I’d love to show you the ropes (or fins?). I’m also big on camping and anything outdoorsy. On the flip side, when I’m not out in nature, you’ll probably find me getting crafty—think jewelry-making and fun DIY projects. Oh, and did I mention I make a mean Persian dish? If you’re up for it, I’ll happily teach you how to whip up something delicious!

Learn:
I’m always down to learn something new, especially if it involves cool cultures, hidden travel gems, or unique skills I’ve never tried before. Got a favorite recipe, a wild travel story, or a random hobby you’re obsessed with? Count me in, I’m all ears!

Share:
I love sharing good vibes, whether that’s through swapping stories, gifting a handmade bracelet, chatting over coffee, or cooking up a feast. For me, it’s all about meaningful moments, fun adventures, and spreading a little positivity (and maybe some tahdig too).

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love sharing stories, laughs, and experiences that make travel feel less like sightseeing and more like soul-connecting.
Want a taste of Persian culture? I’ve got you covered, whether it's teaching you some Persian phrases (bonus points if you nail the pronunciation), sharing cool traditions, or whipping up some delicious Persian food. If you're lucky (and hungry), I might even cook you something that'll make your taste buds dance!

I’m also super into nature and adventure, I've been scuba diving in underwater caves and free diving in the wild, so I’ve got a few epic stories if you're up for them. Oh, and I make jewelry! So who knows… you might end up with a little handmade souvenir from me 💫

Mostly, I just love good conversation, new connections, and making beautiful memories with kind, curious people. Let’s share a moment (or a meal) and see where it goes!
