Habibeh Fathi
Founder
As a mother, my most joyful moments are those which I spend with my daughters. Meeting new people and places is the other part of life that completes this joy for me. What I dream for my historic country and its rich culture is to be seen and understood by the people around the world. I believe “Hi Tehran Hostel” can be one of the best opportunities to reach this agenda. Through this passionate welcoming context, my dream can come true. I feel so blessed just by thinking about the amazing people I’m going to meet and the awesome memories we’re going to share.
Golnar Zamani

As an experience designer, I have always been eager to have new communications and interactions with people from different cultures and backgrounds. Founding Denj hostel in Tehran as my first experience in the travel and hospitality business, brought up the opportunity of meeting beautiful minded travelers. For me, Many of them are considered as friends and family now. By starting HI Tehran Hostel, I passionately look forward to vast these relations.

Masoud
Team Member
I am Masoud. I live in Tehran for 5 years now and thankfully it dropped me here in HI TEHRAN; a place which is a perfect match with what I want out of life. I’m from Bookan, a Kurdish city in northwestern Iran. I got my BSc of Computer Engineering in Isfahan University of Technology. Then I starts my graduate studies in Artificial Intelligence field in University of Tehran, but didn’t finish it. Because I realized that literature and writing is what I enjoy the most, and soon enough it became my priority and made my try journalism and content managing. Right now, I enjoy working with HI TEHRAN TEAM. In this way, I see many cool, free spirited people with different backgrounds and yet, I have my free time to write something. Serious skin above the biggest golden heart beneath the surface, is my deal most of the time.
Rashed
Team Member
I am Rashed. A 27 years old from the city of Sanandaj, Kurdistan. I had my undergraduate studies in electrical engineering in Isfahan University of Technology and then my masters in Metro mechanics in University of Tehran. I studied English language as a hobby when I was a teenager and then polished it through online media. I’m very and I mean very interested in football. Tracking football matches and also playing is one of my priorities in the spare time; other ones are books and movies I find working in HI TEHRAN HOSTEL very appealing, because I have the chance to see a lot of people from all over the world, to be familiar with a variety of experiences, beliefs, trends and ideas and make a dialogue out of them. One of my goals in the future is to travel as much as I can, to have a closer communication with different cultures.
Ashkan
Team Member
It was always interesting and fascinating for me to travel around Iran and to see the diversity of Iranian people culture, customs and also Iran’s nature. As a musician, I was able to satisfy part of this interest by studying and listening to music from various parts of Iran. And now working in Hi Tehran Hostel II has made me more in touch with my country as well as other cultures and countries.
My name is Ashkan. I was born in 1989 in Isfahan. I studied Physics as the undergraduate studies, but I made a shift to Persian Music for the master, which is my biggest passion in life. When I was 12 I started learning Setar (Iranian traditional music instrument) and now it has been 18 years, I am playing. I also have a chance to play and practice in the hostel when I have free time.
The most attractive part of working in Hi Tehran Hostel is meeting people from all over the world, providing them enjoyable vibe, help them and talk to them about different issues, including culture, history, art, different life styles and so on.
Shadi
Team Member
I love to travel. And that’s why I chose to study environmental science at university and spent a lot of time in nature as an environmentalist and tried to protect wildlife and reduce human/wildlife conflicts. Recently I joined HI Tehran Hostel team, trying to host travelers from all over the world. There is nothing I love more than traveling, to discover a new culture or nature or meet new people.
Here at HI Tehran Hostel, I meet new people with new and interesting stories with amazing and sometimes insane experiences. And it feels like I’m traveling with and through every single guest. So I’m really grateful for having this experience with all of you.

Amir Hosein
Team Member
I am Amir Hosein. As a 26 years old I think there is just one path to find out who am I inside and that is My choices and preferences. I got my bsc of Civil engineering and then I started my master studies in MBA field in Sharif University of Technology but I choosed not to finish it. Because I realized that I am more concerned with human nature than economical and competitive mental conflicts and that way I choosed to to express my feelings and impressions by photography and filmmaking. I just want to get things that blur all the other things I’ve lost in my life. In HI TEHRAN HOSTEL I can communicate and make friendship with many cool and travel lover people from all over the world with variety of cultures and experiences and stories. See with your heart and Say with your mind; that’s the Way.
