Overview
About Me
Originally from Iran, I now call Germany home.
used to be a ecotourguide in Iran and working as an engineer in Germany.
My passion for travel was truly ignited back in Iran. I am open to experience new things and travel give me the chance to fulfill this thirst.
My experience with the 10-day Vipassana course in Belgium cultivated a deep sense of peace and mindfulness in my life. it inspiredme to make a plan for travelling to a country that this values are integral part to the daily lives of the people. I think by such a journey i could earn an authentic experience. so I am travelling to Thailand. After all there is called "the land of smile".
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
In my oponion the best sentence which could describe the the purpose of using Cs. is what a persian poet once said :
"Step onto the road, and have no doubt, The path itself will reveal the way out. "
For me, Couchsurfing isn't merely a hobby; it's a way of life since it provides me the chance to connect with like-minded individuals, to gain authentic experience by contacting with locals andto immerse my self in in local cultures.
