I was born and raised in the suburbs of Copenhagen to Persian parents, and I'm currently living here finishing my masters in Law.

Before diving into university, I took a few years off to travel—most memorably a three-year solo journey through the post-Soviet region, hitchhiking across mountains, cities, and everything in between. Along the way, I met some of the most generous strangers—and drank some of the strongest vodka I probably shouldn’t have.

Outside of law, music is a huge part of my life. I play classical piano and use a lot of my free time on it. I have a soft spot for the late Romantic period, especially the German and Russian composers, and I love sharing that passion through teaching as well.

I’m also interested in global affairs, particularly Middle Eastern geopolitics and the dynamics of the Russia-Ukraine conflict—conversations about these topics can easily stretch late into the night.

I feel most at home in quiet, low-key settings—somewhere you can actually hear the person next to you.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Richard Wagner, Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Chopin, Rachmaninoff ...

Mainly Western Classical music as I work with it on a daily basis but I'm open to all genres. I actually really want to break down stereotypes of classical musicians being close-minded.

Litterature: Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, Kafka, Carl Jung,

I’m especially obsessed with Dostoyevsky and started learning Russian with the dream of one day being able to read his works in Russian. Still have a long way to go though!

Favourite quotes:

''The darker the night, the brighter the stars,
The deeper the grief, the closer is God!''
- Dostoyevsky

“No tree can grow to Heaven unless it’s roots reach down to Hell.”
-Jung

“I desire to go to Hell and not to Heaven. In the former I shall enjoy the company of popes, kings and princes, while in the latter are only beggars, monks and apostles”
- Niccolò Machiavelli

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have not achieved anything great yet.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you piano, music theory, how to open a beer bottle with a belt, best ways to commit tax fraud without the government finding out, exorcism, etc.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Travel stories from places and countries you've probably never heard about, soviet adventures, how to travel very cheaply (finding good tickets/hostels etc), solo-traveller tips.

If you have a lot on your heart, I'm also a good listener and can provide unqualified psychological help.
