Hi, we’re Ayda and Saeed!
We are a couple who loves to travel, explore new cultures, and connect with people from all over the world. Saeed is a sports journalist, and I’m a fitness coach passionate about helping others lead healthier lives. Together, we enjoy discovering unique places, trying local food, and experiencing different ways of life. We’re always up for new adventures and love meeting like-minded people who share a love for travel, good conversations, and learning from one another!”

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For us, traveling is not just about visiting new places—it’s about the people you meet along the way. we love connecting with locals, hearing their stories, and experiencing a city through their eyes rather than just being a tourist.

Couchsurfing is a great way to meet open-minded people, exchange cultures, and create unforgettable memories. we believe that every person has something valuable to share, whether it’s travel tips, life lessons, or just a good laugh over coffee.

we are here to connect, learn, and hopefully, make some lifelong friendships along the way.

Music, Movies, and Books

“I have a pretty mixed taste when it comes to music, movies, and books!

🎶 Music: I enjoy a mix of different styles, but I have a soft spot for Turkish music! I also love Adele—her voice is just magical. In Iranian music, Ey Sanama by Shajarian is one of my all-time favorites. And of course, Hotel California is a classic that never gets old! But honestly, I’ll listen to anything with a good vibe.

🎬 Movies: I love mystery movies that keep you guessing until the end! I’m a huge fan of Christopher Nolan—I’ve seen all of his films and enjoyed every single one. I’ve also watched all the John Wick movies (because who doesn’t love some intense action?). Besides that, I really enjoy Turkish drama movies—they always have deep stories and great emotions. Also, I can never say no to a good documentary!

📚 Books: I enjoy listening to audiobooks more than reading! They’re perfect for when I’m on the go or just relaxing. I mostly enjoy books about self-improvement and psychology. Two of my favorites are Shoe Dog and The Art of Thinking Clearly—both are full of great insights. But I’m always open to recommendations!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing I’ve done was my one-month trip to Dubai. It was an incredible experience, not only for exploring the city but also for immersing myself in the different cultures and participating in sports events there. I also had the chance to visit Turkey and Armenia, and those travels were equally amazing, offering unique experiences and a deeper understanding of the places and people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love teaching others about fitness and healthy living. As a coach, I enjoy sharing knowledge on how to improve physical strength, stay active, and maintain a balanced lifestyle. I’m always open to learning new things, whether it’s a different perspective on life, a new language, or unique travel experiences. I believe that everyone has something valuable to share, and I love exchanging stories, tips, and lessons with others.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my passion for fitness and healthy living with my hosts. I’d love to offer a workout session, share healthy meal ideas, or even just talk about ways to stay active and motivated. I’m also eager to share my travel experiences, insights about different cultures, and exchange stories from my adventures in places like Dubai, Turkey, and Armenia. Above all, I believe in creating meaningful connections and having great conversations, so I’m always happy to chat and learn from others!
