Updated 2022: Wow…it’s been almost 7 years since I last logged into CS. Hopefully there are still remnants of the old community after this new website transition….

CURRENT MISSION
Travel the world, make friends, meet new people, have deep and meaningful conversations, and experience happiness.

ABOUT ME

Hey I'm Sam from Melbourne, Australia.

I was born and raised in Australia but my parents are originally from Iran. I really enjoy meeting and getting to know new people, visiting different places around the world, and trying to make each moment one to remember. I genuinely appreciate unique and engaging personalities! I used to be a film maker, but now I’m working as a university English language teacher.

I love photography and enjoy documenting my travels through memorable photographs on my Instagram. Feel free to ask me for my Instagram ID.

In 2015, I taught English in South Korea and I hosted several people from around the world.

Through CS I’ve had some memorable experiences and made some life-long friends. I miss the feeling of those days, so I’m really looking forward to meeting you!!

PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I want to meet people who will become life-long friends (or even short-term memorable friends).

Interests

All kinds of food, markets and thrift stores, jazz clubs and bars, picnics, beaches, massages, sleeping in, staying up all night cuddling while sharing random life stories.

Music, Movies, and Books

Currently listening to K-pop. Don’t judge me… you would too if you lived in Korea hahaha.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Make life-long friends with random travellers after a saying “hello” in a random cafe. Honestly…every person is a potential friend that is yet unmet.
