Mechanical engineer, loving travel and adventure …I am originally from Iran but have made Istanbul my home the past 3 years. I am a simple guy, a bit of an introvert and I love my job, hence why I can spend the whole day at the office sometimes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I discovered CS when I lived in Tehran but I mostly joined events; couldn’t host at the time…I enjoy meeting international people and discovering first hand their culture and world views. Now that I live alone I want to be active as a host and demonstrate Iranian hospitality at its best.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

What I Can Share with Hosts

ok...
a bed for one..
linen..
towels..
toiletries..
covers..
clothes..
slippers..
(especially if you are flying with a budget airline..hahahh)
alcohol, ashtrays,ice cubes
my kitchen and appliances for you to cook sth from your neck of the woods...or if you´re clueless , welcome to try my cooking..
TV; wifi;laptop...
heating..electricity..did I mention that I don´t live in a stable?
oh....and most importantly...spices and teas from all over the world (ok...the last one is a bit of an exaggeration)..
all you have to do is respect my home...which means: CLEAN UP AFTER YOURSELF...

- I understand everyone's needs are different, and I can make exceptions, but I'm not a fan of hosting people for only one night. Please consider staying at least 2 nights, so washing the sheets makes sense.
- I don't enjoy people who stay at my apartment ALL DAY LONG, but I also don't like it when they escape just after they wake up and come back at midnight. There has to be a balance.
- Consider having your Gov ID validated by CS if you have zero references
- DO NOT send me any requests more than a month in advance. I HAVE A LIFE! And travel a lot myself, so I don't know where on earth I might be beyond a week at best.
- Single-line copy-pasted requests, especially from empty profiles, will be replied in kind with a basic copy-paste template.
- Read the "My Home" section (if you're using the mobile app, then tap on "Read More" under the "Accepting Guests" status). Trust me, I will notice if you didn't.
- I can make exceptions (for example, people who live in small towns nobody ever visits), but if you have surfed a ridiculous amount of times and you have never or almost never hosted, I will probably NOT host you as you are not giving back a fraction of what you received from this community.
