About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Watch football, meet people, make money

ABOUT ME

I'm a PhD student at Stanford. I've lived in Canada and Iran previously and I visit both places at least once a year. I also take random 10 hour flights once in a while.

There are three things I love: (european) football, people, and food. I have slowly given up playing football, but still enjoy watching the game and kicking ass on Fifa. Weekends are usually reserved for a long night out in the city dancing, followed by a mellow day of cooking and hanging out with friends.

My favorite thing in the bay though is going to half moon bay at night and spending a few hours by the ocean next to the fire away from all distractions in life. Happy to take you there!

PHILOSOPHY

What goes around comes around. At the end of the day the world balances itself out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
