Hi! I was born and raised in Iran, lived in Canada for 8 years and moved to the US 4 years ago. My boyfriend Jake and I both quit our jobs to do some traveling before moving to our new city- Denver. I love to dance, hike, rock climb, camp, ski, mountain bike, explore old towns/bars/cafés and do any sort of adventures my destination has to offer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to get to know and talk to like minded people, experience the culture first hand , share my life stories and listen to others talk about theirs. I love learning about new perspective and breaking stereotypes.
I would love to learn about your culture/country/city through you and not only some tourist guide book. I'm hoping to make life long friends and find travel buddies.

Interests

I really enjoy spending my time doing outdoor activities- going for a very nice scenic hike, a tour on the river, climbing some awesome rocks, and really anything that can get my heart pumping including beautiful scenery or amazing city architecture.
I love meeting new people and socializing, learning about traditions and cultures of the places I visit and the people I meet. Every person has a story that I would love to listen to and learn from.
I love eating food, having intellectual conversations, playing piano, bouldering, hiking, being silly, laughing, biking around the city, sunsets (and the golden light), friendly locals who start having random conversations with me when I'm travelling solo and starting to feeling a little bored, and sharing what I know through my life experiences and teaching others about my culture or city.
