My name is Samaneh and I am a PhD student in the U.S currently. I was born and raised in Iran and I was a member of this website in the past and I hosted a few people from Europe traveling to my country, Iran. I would like to start my activity here again and host people traveling to the states or Iran ( during summers when I am there).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to meet people from different cultures and countries as well as acquire a new language. I am interested in hanging out with people and enjoy having deep and friendly conversations sharing different thoughts and views on various subjects of interest.

Interests

Horse back riding, yoga, riding bicycle, drawing and painting, playing chess, reading books, listening to music, talking to friends online, walking, writing poetry, fencing, archery and internet are my hobbies.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy listening to classical music and just any music that has a good beat to it. I'd like to listen to songs that have thoughtful lyrics. I love Persian music and I also enjoy listening to songs in other languages.
