Guide Bio
During the accomplishment of my Ph.D. study in the field of Bio material, I got a reputation from colleagues as a science storyteller. I knew I had this ability to convert boring scientific facts into enjoyable and amusing talks for people, who were not in the same field. Almost finished my Ph.D. in Germany, I realized I had invested my best time of life in a way, which could not bring joy and happiness into my life. I got this realization really late. I started to follow what my heart said and quit my Ph. D. at the last phase. I was lost in life and decided to travel around the world. Diving deeply in the culture of South Korea, India and other countries of Asia and comparing them to western culture, where I did my study in the high-tech country, Germany, made me a storyteller as a Traveler. As Ibn Battuta says: Traveling leaves you speechless, then it turns you to story teller. Talking with different people at each corner of the world proved me how my Iranian culture is not familiar for most people, especially the new generation. Then I decided to empower my ability of story telling on culture and social history of Iran for culturally curious travelers. Now, I am proudly the co-founder of Persian Walk telling the story of my city for all adventures and Travelers, who want to discover Iran beyond the politic news and censored media.
