Description
My name is Mina, I obtained a Master's Degree in Computer networking and also Master's degree of Tourism management.
now I am a travel planner and hiking Guide.

I like life and people. When I was younger I visited many countries to know other cultures and see the history of the country, nowadays I just travel to talk with other people. Human, kindness, and trust are the most important subjects for me.

I like traveling and I like hiking(In May of 2023 I walked Lycian Way(500Km) in Turkey, a famous hiking route in the world), In June I hiked around Damavand highest mountain in Iran(5671m).
In August 2023 I hiked TMB- Tour du Mont blanc, France, Italy and Switzerland in 10 days.
My photos are available in instagram: @avisarodgoon

I love being familiar with other people and their style of life.
I like nature and being there not in the city.

I traveled all over Europe with my husband and my son, in many cities I used Couchsurfing which is a wonderful site.
My family and I like traveling so we visited all continents, countries from Australia to Canada to Brazil, Seychelles, Morroco, and ...

I know Persian, English, and Turkish.

I am proud to be a mother of a 15-year-old son, So I am familiar enough with their characteristics and changing attitudes during this age.

It was a delight to host Mina who worked hard, worked well with other volunteers, showed plenty of initiative and was excellent company. Mina is at home with a variety of people and cultures and fitted in well with our multicultural set of guests and volunteers. We have no hesitation in recommending her to other hosts.

I was leaving Mon for Copenhagen when I received Camille message that I can stay with them for helping on their farm, I decided to stay with them, and what a good decision I took.

Mina came to us for only a short week. We worked together for 3 days. But we got a lot done! Mina is hardworking and very eager to learn new things. She is very kind and loving to the animals and like to go biking. We did not experience her cooking but we had many interesting talks together. I am quite sure we will stay in contact. 💚
