A carnival is not a revolution.

Born in Reading to Iranian parents, I have been performing as an actor, musician and performer since 2004, focussing on Live Art since 2011. Love conscious living, a good old knees up and learning learning learning. I love to sing, watch any sort of thing that can be watched and to cook sumptuous Persian feasts for all my friends, especially the ones which I am yet to meet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I host a lot of artists and also travel loads with my work, and have learned the karmic joys of being a strong node in the network of hospitality that spans this beautiful planet.
