I'm a 37-year old German lady who has just booked a flight to Teheran. I will be in Iran from March 19 to April 2.

I used to work in international development cooperation and currently, I'm in refugee assistance.

In my free time, I love doing Ashtanga Yoga and going to the cinema. I like foreign alphabets. I love learning.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've just read the book "Couchsurfing in Iran" and now I'm very excited to try it out myself. I can't wait to meet Iranians who allow me to enter their lives for one day.

Music, Movies, and Books

Together with a young Iranian boy, I read the German novel "oh how beautiful is panama" in a bilingual version, which is a about a little tiger and a little bear searching for happiness and the country of Panama. This is why I can say two freaky sentences in Farsi: Man chers kudjulu hastam. To babr kudjulu hasti.
