I believe in "living life".
This means pursuing your dreams, going for adventures and making new friends.

I love having enough privacy during the day to read books, set my mind, and make revelations.
Not so talkative, but love to communicate with new people and learn about new cultures.

Nowadays I'm working to publish my first book in Business Model Innovation.
Within a team of trainers and coaches in Innovation Center, University of Tabriz, we are developing training courses, workshops, and conferences in Creativity, Design Thinking, Problem Solving, Decision Science, and Innovation.
Also, I'm the co-founder of three startups and one event in the Innovation Center.
I'm married. I have a daughter, she is 2 years old now. I don't drink, nor smoke.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing in 2010 when I was invited for a conference in Leuven, Belgium. Although they provided accommodation, I preferred to meet and communicate with people through Couchsurfing; and this made really interesting memories of my first trip to Europe.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I had a very impressive lecture in Creative Thinking for architecture professionals in "Value Creating through Architecture" conference in Tabriz, Iran. Since I had no previous knowledge of architecture, I had to study and research for almost a month to prepare my presentation. When I finished my lecture, they applauded and cheered for minutes, and announced that it was the best lecture of the event.

Yeah, I've not jumped from a waterfall, nor boated through an ocean. Most amazing things for me, besides enjoying my little daughter's growth journey, occur in the classes, workshops, events, and trips.
