I was born on planet earth inside man-made borders called Iran, just two years after the Islamic revolution and a year after the Iran-Iraq war started! I still believe I was born lucky! ;)

​

I grew up in Mehr-Shahr, a small town 40 km from Tehran, where seemed to be a safe place during the war. I was raised in an extremely conservative islamic society but in a lovely openminded family pretty much as their black sheep. :D

 

In school, I wasn’t a good student which was not easy next to my top-student brother and sister but finally got accepted to a Computer Science Program at the university. And guess what?... I dropped out after two years! ;) And started working but not in the field of Computer Science. I changed many jobs until I finally realized my passion for cooking and serving people, when I was about 26 years old.

 

A year later, I started my own catering & event planning business outside of my home's kitchen and I called it Pasha Food Studio. My business got famous and successful fairly quickly by doing what I loved and working REALLY REALLY hard. After about 5 years, I finally was living the dream and so happy and proud. I had been able to prove myself and my family that having a college degree wasn't the only way to become successful, and one can in fact become a successful person in life by following his heart and going after what he's passionate about!  

 

Time was going by and the business was getting bigger and bigger, when I realized I wasn’t fulfilled and I felt as if something was missing. All I did was work, make money, have fun and party. I had no time to spend to myself, to really be silent for a moment and reflect on all that was happening in my life. I felt lost and unsatisfied. 

 

So I started tuning in, listening to my inner voice and searching deep within for answers. During this process something magnificent happened, something that changed my life. It was a realization; a realization which helped me making a decision to let go and move forward. As a result I sold my business and started traveling and flowing on this path of soul searching and finding out more about the world and myself.

​

Finally, after few years of traveling I ended up in Montenegro, running a farmstay retreat called Pachamama which means Mother Earth in Quechua language from Inca Empire.

 

My philosophy is simple; I believe in the laws of nature & universal love. That's it, and nothing more...

 

I hope you enjoy reading my blog and following me on my journey of self-discovery...

 

P.S.

I would like to dedicate this blog to my beautiful family especially my angel on earth, my mother, without whom I should have lived many lifes to be a person I am today.
