Hi, I’m Shamim — a curious soul originally from Iran, now living in NYC with my husband. I am a teacher and digital marketing specialist.

I’m passionate about culture, nature, cooking, and meeting people — especially literary gatherings. I’m also a strong believer in slow travel, intentional living, and deep conversations over tea.

I always love learning how locals live, eat, and celebrate life. I’m calm, respectful and sometimes shy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make new friends and memories.
