Hello there,

I am easy-going; love meeting new people and seeing new places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting people that see things differently. I like people who share my worldview, these are the people I get along with. But I am on CS to meet people who see and think differently.

Interests

I am interested in history, languages, cultures and the life of homo sapiens on the Planet Earth in general.

Music, Movies, and Books

Rumi's 'Divan-e Shams' is my favourite book.

Films: "Pulp Fiction" and other Tarantino classics, "Short film about love", "The Godfather" , "Goodfellas" , "Djentelmeny udachi" and many other Soviet classics"; "In Bruges" , "Love and Death" (a 1976 film by Woody Allen - not many people have seen it); Marmoulak (a great Iranian film, a bit pointless to list here, because if you are a Persian speaker, you must have seen it and if you are not a Persian speaker, you won't enjoy it that much) and Trakovsky’s films.

Series: "The Sopranos"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I can always peel apples with my eyes closed.
