Description
I'm Mahdi, a passionate traveler with a love for exploring new cultures and making meaningful connections. I’ve traveled to many countries, spending several months living and adventuring across Africa, and my next big journey will take me through different parts of Europe, starting with France. Currently, I’m based in Vancouver, Canada, but my travel plans are always evolving.

In addition to my love for travel, I play the Kamancheh, a traditional Iranian instrument, and enjoy outdoor activities like mountaineering and kayaking. As a web developer with a background in media, I also have extensive experience in social media and digital networks.

Volunteering has always been an exciting part of my journey, and I’ve been involved in various projects across Africa and Asia. One of my most memorable experiences was designing and building a glass wall in a hostel in Uganda—a task I had never done before but found incredibly rewarding.

I’m always eager to learn new skills, meet new people, and embrace every opportunity to grow through diverse experiences.

We were really happy to host Mahdi (and then briefly to meet his wife). We learned a lot about Iran and Canada, we tasted delicious food and had interesting discussions on many subjects! We wish him/them all the best, many other adventures and discoveries and maybe they'll be one day a host family for our future workawayers boys!

My experience of spending two weeks with the French-Italian family, Valérie and Angelo, was incredibly enjoyable and memorable. They are a lovely and kind family. On the first day, as planned, Valérie picked me up from the train station and brought me to their home. During those two weeks, I truly felt like a part of their family.

Father Emmanuel is a great man with a big heart and he is so kind, like a real father for kids. we are really glad to have this chance to live with them for some time. this school with all nice kind students is one of the best places in Uganda. we learned a lot, have a great time with them, and love them all.

We had such a lovely time with Mahdi & Masoomeh.
They are great company and a hard working couple.
Masoomeh painted a beautiful design on our watertank and Mahdi worked tirelessly on a glass bottle wall which we finished together.
We would definitely recommend Mahdi & Masoomeh as WorkAwayers and are very thankful for their help.
