Hello there, I‘m Silki ☀️

On an average day you will probably catch me with a bottle of Mate on my bicycle fighting the patriarchy. I like reading, playing volleyball and going to the gym, especially if I'm in good company.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’ve met some really sweet people in the past, and I’m very grateful for the opportunity to learn about a country, its traditions, and its people in a way that goes far beyond museums or tourist guides, reaching into the heart of everyday life.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy books where the main character goes through an existential crisis. I'm also interested in literature rooted in Iran, Afghanistan, and Iraq—whether through setting or the voice of authors who have lived there.

I'm always open for book recommendations by the way, so please feel free to tell me about your favourite books.

I really like the band Kakkmaddafakka (don't get scared off by their name haha :P) and my favourite singer is Mayberg.

A really good movie I have seen recently is "The Balconettes"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Me (and my passenger princess) have managed to survive driving a car in New Delhi 😂

Teach, Learn, Share

I studied Astronomy and Physics at the University of Vienna and would love to meet fellow science enthusiasts.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I cannot think of anything I would mind sharing. Except maybe...a toothbrush? But I'm planning to bring my own :P
