Hi there! I’m Shiva from Kerman, Iran. I’m passionate about exploring new cultures and meeting people from all walks of life. I consider myself to be open-minded, friendly, and always up for an adventure.

Traveling has always been a big part of my life, and I’ve been fortunate to visit 5 countries so far. Each trip brings new experiences and stories, which I love to share with others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing to connect with like-minded travelers and locals. For me, it’s not just about finding a place to stay but also about building genuine connections and learning from each other. I believe that the best way to experience a place is through the eyes of its residents.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love sharing my knowledge of cooking, especially making traditional dishes from my home country. If you’re interested in learning how to cook a delicious meal, I’m your person!

I’m always eager to learn about new cultures and languages. If you speak a language I’m not familiar with, I’d love to learn some phrases and understand more about your traditions. I’m also interested in learning new recipes, local customs, and any unique skills you might have. Whether it’s a craft, a sport, or a unique perspective, I’m always open to new knowledge

I enjoy sharing travel stories and experiences from the places I’ve visited. I believe that exchanging stories is a wonderful way to connect and learn from each other. I’m also happy to share my photography work and tips, as well as my favorite books and music recommendations. If you enjoy hiking, we can explore some trails together and share the beauty of nature.
