Hiking

Hiking is one of my greatest passions. Whenever I'm struggling, nothing clears my mind more than a walk into the wild or to the top of a mountain!

I am a member of Hemat Shemiran and Koohbaad Climbing groups. I hiked the highest mountains of Iran, including Mount Damavand, Mount Alam, and Mount Sabalan.

I used to volunteer for the Awareness and Prevention of Mountain Accidents Headquarters at several mountain shelters near Tehran. Our duties consisted of giving warnings about extreme weather condition, checking climbing equipments, avalanche alerts, organizing missing people search groups and dispatching first aid help for the injured people.

Volunteering at Iran S.P.C.A.

I used to volunteer at Iran Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (S.P.C.A) in Tehran. We worked to prevent cruelty against animals by actively promoting their care and protection. As part of our activities, we organized programs for training children in kindergarten to practice kind behavior toward animals. We also assisted staff members in the maintenance of animals' shelters in different locations in Tehran.

Salvador

This is my beloved companion. Watching him running around makes me wonder even more about the infrastructure of locomotion and sometimes intelligence in general!

Astronomy and Astrophysics

One of my unforgettable experiences was participating in the Iran's annual national Messier Marathon with nojum association at Matin Abad desert camp.
