You can also follow my travels outside Iran, but as far as I'm not a local in other countries, don't expect me a real travel guide, but I'm pretty sure I could describe people so well:

I'm traveling for anthropology. To know the people and spend the time with. To know more about their culture and their ideas on the world. Traveling or even life and love has different meaning for me. But there are no words made to express some ideas, so you'll get to know my ideas when you meet me.

I mostly do some human rights and anti-war activities, I'm now on my anti-war message based project called "Third Eye" which you can also follow it on:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To help people who want to visit Iran,
To know more about people,
To share love, peace, ideas,
To make a better world together,
To break the ices between different nations,
To show to the world that we can make a peaceful world together, black or white from any religions, by any languages.

Interests

I've been a musician before, of course I love music and still listen everyday, but due to some personal problems I couldn't stay with my own music, but hopefully one day I'll start to record again. You can also listen to my old songs here:

Most of the time, I study the world and the news, but along with this, I love reading novels with the theme of "Truth of Human Loneliness" which are most often classified as Real and Surreal novels.

Technology, business and personal growth grab my attention. I'm always looking for new ways to learn about myself and stretching my personal limits. Reading is one of my favorite ways to learn but experiencing everything gives you so much of a better way of life.

I like to create new things, sometimes I make things with wood, I have a lot of interest in carpentry. I've made most of my closets, tables and chairs in my room.

I always loved to play video games since my childhood.

I love walking in narrow streets with new humans, I would love to hear grandparents laughter while drinking beer in a very relaxing spring afternoon.

I would like to have a bike, attach two flags in front of it, the flag of peace and the flag of my country, quickly pass the streets with a smiley face, and say a loud "hello" to the grandparents who are watering the flowers of the yard.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There have been so many amazing things in my lifetime that I'm so grateful I had the chance to experience. Traveling to Russia when I was only 17, making a peace campaign when I was 22, making a documentary about Iran, doing a secularism photography project, long journey from the northernmost point to the southernmost point of Thailand, traveling almost for 6 months in Eurasia. Hitchhiking the whole length and breadth of Türkiye.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share moments, peace, and teach them how to make websites, how to take photos, how to travel to Persia.

I've got a lot of offers from homosexuals and nudists, I'm not a gay/nudist, but I love both groups and would love to become friends and stay with you, I even have a lot of friends from both groups, I respect you as you do for yourself, but unfortunately I've got some bad experiences of others who over-expect things (sorry this is due to my experiences, don't take it personal)
