Description
hello!
It’s Maryam from Iran.
I studied electrical engineering at university.
I’ve been working in an engineering company as a coordinator in a steel making project for almost 8 years. I’ve always liked to travel all around the world, connect with the other people from different cultures, discover amazing places and views, have a deep and meaningful conversation about everything and listen to the people stories, and experience new things but unfortunately I always postponed this kind of desires. Nowadays I’ve decided to listen to my heart and follow my old dream🙂🙂
I'm new here and I strongly believe that this site is a very practical and useful platform for people who has a dream about traveling for a long time and living with locals.

Maryam, our first Workawayer and guest from Iran — we were so happy to have you stay with us for 5 days and 4 nights. Thank you so much for all your help at our home. You ironed clothes that had been left for so long — a huge blessing, as my wife had no time to do it.
She said you’re very detailed and hardworking, always asking how you can help.… read more

What an incredible family – amazing parents and such lovely daughters. Humaira and Maryam should be proud to have such wonderful parents. I had the privilege of being part of this kind and generous family for five days. From the very beginning, they gave me a private room and treated me like a guest, not just a volunteer who was supposed to help… read more

I stayed in this beautiful hostel for 12 days in June. The hostel is located a short walk from the beautiful Chinang Beach, where after your shift, if you don't have any specific plans, you can go for swimming, relaxing, and even water activities that are abundant on this beach. I always went to the end of the beach for sunbathing, which was… read more

It was my first experience in workaway and it was totally great. Imagin you have your own privacy in a small and lovely flat, the best view from balcony to Aegean Sea, not much work to do and just around 12 minutes by walking until to sea … I guess it's a fantastic fantasy 😃

Maryem was by far the kindest volunteer we had, there is always a fun and happy conversation to be had with her, she gets the job done and then some, sometimes we don't even realize that she did much more than we asked, and always with a cheerful smile to go with it. Go on Maryem, we don't need to wish you good fortune in your travels, because… read more

We worked with Maryam three weeks. She is very responsible to her job. Some days when I need, she offered me to work more than she suppose to. She is very calm person. This makes her easy to communicate with me and my guests too. She took night shift here mostly. Sometimes she helped me for cleaning as well. She did her best. When she asks you for… read more
