Hi, I'm Mona, originally from Iran, now living in Siena. I'm a human rights activist, student, and retired martial artist.

I'm passionate about exploring new things and have taken on various jobs, learning from each experience. I love animals, books, chatting with new people, podcasts, and movies. Sharing cultures over wine or beer and the occasional party are my joys.

I'm here because I believe in doing good without expecting anything in return. I’m fascinated by cultures and love connecting with people and hearing their stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing to connect authentically with locals, dive into their culture, and make friends worldwide. I prefer genuine, down-to-earth experiences over fancy trips. For me, it's all about embracing the real and forming meaningful connections.

Interests

I love nature, traveling, and meeting people. I'm passionate about philosophy, poetry, psychology, and staying informed about politics.

Movies are a huge joy and inspiration for me. I adore animals and used to have three cats. Camping is another favorite, and I’m looking for friends to join me on camping adventures in Italy.

I’m a big sports and martial arts fan. I practiced Kung Fu, Wushu, and MMA for 13 years until injuries made me stop.

In my free time, I volunteer with NGOs and charities, which helps me feel connected and makes a positive impact.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’m here to be more than just a companion—I want to make new friendship 😊. Whether over coffee or wine, I love sharing knowledge. I can teach you trading basics, self-defense, politics, and even some massage tips. We probably have more in common than we think, so let’s create lasting memories and a lifelong friendship. ♥️
