I am an ex-pharmacist who used to work in the pharmaceutical industry as a communications manager and product development manager. I left the industry to start my startup combining the world of mobile gaming with the world of coupons and customer acquisition. Within 1 year, we got 1.5 million downloads and 800k active monthly users. That startup failed due to a lack of digital payment and the wrong business model, but we learned a lot.

We didn't give up. Our second startup is Padash, and it is based on some needs we saw in our first startup; restaurants in Iraq want data on their customers, and they don't have a good way to do it right now. So, we are providing them with tools to collect, analyze, and act on their customer's data and increase revenue.

I love business and I love traveling, so, naturally, I love traveling for business purposes XD. I also love sharing stories, experiences, and knowledge with others. I am trying CS to find some people to hang out with at the places I visit (I just want to hang out and spend some quality time together :)
I am married and have my own small apartment, I am mostly busy most of the time, 7 days a week. But if we can figure something out together and make it work, I would be more than honored to hang out :D hit me up and we will discuss.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of the things I am most interested in is humans. It's amazing to think that there are many many stories, each unique to their owner, the human. I like to know what others think, feel, believe.. What are their dreams? Passions? What makes them wake up in the morning? I love sharing all these thoughts and feelings, especially from different backgrounds. So, while I travel, I love seeing others and sharing these with them.
Also, I would love to get the opportunity to host you! We can go around Erbil, eat some delicious food, and discuss every topic we can think of! I love sharing our collective human experience!
