I grew up in New Zealand, but I was born in Iran. I've been trained as a private pilot in New Zealand, and recently I finished my MA in English Language Teaching. I like to travel and get to know more about other cultures.

I come from a big Iranian family. We enjoy having guests over at our place. We are an international family. I have a brother who lives in New Zealand, another two who live in Iran. My whole family can speak both English and Persian.

I went to New Zealand when I was 15 years old and lived there until I was 21. I did my high school education in Tauranga. I grew up there with a kiwi family, and I loved the whole experience. NZ is where I did my Private Pilot License. I believe that NZ is a great place to live and study and would love to go back. I am so proud to be a Persian Kiwi.

I like travelling around the world. I've been to a few countries already, but I'm planning to visit all the countries around the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
