Overview
About Me
I am a PhD student in Ireland who loves to walk in more cities and talk to more people. I love to learn more about new cultures and I'm always up for a chat! I can cook delicious foods for you and can tell you stores of my travels and amazing people I already met! You can be my next story to tell!! :))))
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Because I genuinely love traveling! not just to see places, but to connect with people.
For me, the most meaningful part of any trip is getting a glimpse into local life, hearing people’s stories, and making real friendships along the way.
I believe that Couchsurfing is more than just a place to stay, it’s a way to experience a city through the eyes of someone who lives it every day.
I love learning about different cultures, trying new food, and sharing laughs (or deep chats) with people from totally different backgrounds.
Whether I’m hosted or just meeting up, I’m always grateful for the connection.

Teach, Learn, Share
I’d love to learn:
Your culture and traditions – I’m always curious about how people live, celebrate, and see the world.
Spanish – I’m just starting out and would love to practice!
Chess – I’m a total beginner but really enjoying it and would love to play and learn more.
I can teach you:
Persian (Farsi) or English
Persian dance and cultural traditions
Fun arts & crafts like quilling and clay sculpture making
What I Can Share with Hosts
🍲 Cook a delicious Persian meal — I can introduce you to the flavors of Iran (think saffron, herbs, and comfort food with heart).
💃 Teach you Persian dance — it’s joyful, expressive, and a lot of fun (even if you have two left feet!).
💻 Help with tech stuff — whether it’s setting up devices, organizing digital files, or a crash course in something computer-related, I’m here!
📚 Share stories from my travels and what it’s like doing a PhD in computer science.
☕ Or simply enjoy deep chats over coffee, tea, or wine — I’m a great listener and love meaningful conversations.
I respect your space, I’m tidy, and always happy to adapt to your vibe — whether you prefer quiet evenings or spontaneous city strolls.
