My name is Samaneh but you can call me Sami. I have graduated with Ph.D. From Dongguk Uni in Seoul, and currently I am working as a Potsdoc researcher in Korea University. So I am living in Seoul.
Although I am so busy with research but Im real fond of travelling, and I have good sense of finding nice locations, trust me 😌.
On the other hand I am certainly the wrong person to ask to introduce you where to eat or which bar to go, because I spent most of my time to explore around the Seoul not the city😄JK ( I know many good resturants around Korea Uni😁).
Anyway, I like camping,sports especually mountain climbing, diving, snorkling, and I have never got tired of walking🙃

Philosophy:
Live your life :-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1-The really first amazing thing I’ve done in my life was observing night sky through telescope, that changed my life and I fell in love with astronomy😅. I had two telescopes when I was in Iran and observing the amazing cosmos thousand times.
Moon, planets, milky way, nebulas, meteors، eclips, occultations….
2-The transit of Venus across the sun in 2012 was unique exprience in my life.
3-I had the chance to see two big meteors during observing night sky at meteor showers night, I have never forgot those moments.
4-I had the chance to be the member of a cycling team from north of Iran to the south of Iran to support WFTGA 2017 when Iran was the host country for tour guides from all around the world.
5-I had 20 days of backpacking travel to the sea coast line in Turkey while expriencing hichhiking, camping and using cs.
6- There are lots of nomads in Iran, me and my family are part of one of them, I exprienced nomad life several times, it is an unique life style, I can talk about it for hours.
7-Free diving and snorkeling in the persian gulf changed my life, anytime I did it, I felt I was in paradise, amazing, no proper words to explain it. I strongly recommend it to try it in southern beach of Iran or southern Islands in Iran.
