Hello there! I'm an adventurous spirit from Iraq, calling Baghdad my home. A proud graduate of the American University with a bachelor's degree in business, I thrive on exploration and curiosity. My passion lies in discovering new places, immersing myself in diverse cultures, and connecting with people from various backgrounds.

Sports are a significant part of my life, and I'm the embodiment of an all-around sports enthusiast. From volleyball and football to badminton, ping pong, and swimming, I find joy and fulfillment in staying active. I'm also no stranger to the world of bodybuilding. Indoors, I enjoy engaging in strategic battles with games like chess, domino, and cards.

As an avid camper, I've ventured into numerous locations, often opting for solo expeditions, though I'm open to the camaraderie of group camping. I'm not just passionate about exploring; I also love sharing my knowledge, particularly in Arabic and English languages. Teaching is a fulfilling aspect of my life.

When I'm not on the move, you'll find me in the kitchen, transforming ingredients into delicious creations. Cooking is not just a hobby; it's a journey into the world of healthy and tantalizing dishes. I'm always on the lookout for new recipes to experiment with.

If you share a love for exploration, sports, learning, or simply enjoying good food, we're bound to have an amazing time together. Let's create lasting memories and unforgettable experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here on Couchsurfing to foster a mutually beneficial exchange with fellow travelers. Offering a welcoming space for hosts not only allows me to contribute to the vibrant community but also provides a unique opportunity to connect with individuals from diverse corners of the globe. I thrive on the prospect of hanging out with new people and immersing myself in various cultures through the genuine connections formed during these experiences.

Being a passionate explorer, Couchsurfing serves as a gateway to meeting individuals from different places, broadening my horizons, and expanding my cultural understanding. I'm eager to create meaningful connections and share stories with those who have embarked on their own journeys.

I see Couchsurfing as a platform for fostering a sense of camaraderie among travel enthusiasts. I actively engage in creating and attending events organized by fellow Couchsurfers who, like me, are driven by a shared love for exploring the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

In the realm of entertainment, my taste is as diverse as my love for exploration. When it comes to books, I'm drawn to the world of self-help literature, finding inspiration and wisdom in their pages. However, I've also delved into thought-provoking novels such as "1984" and "Animal Farm."

Movies hold a special place in my heart, particularly within the thrilling and mysterious genres. "V for Vendetta" stands out as my all-time favorite film, captivating me with its depth and intrigue. Other cinematic gems like "The Shawshank Redemption," "The Matrix," "The Godfather," "Interstellar," and "Shutter Island" are among the many that have left a lasting impression on me. When it comes to series, I've been enthralled by the likes of "Prison Break," "Game of Thrones," "Hannibal," "Suits," "The Walking Dead," and "The Blacklist."

In the realm of music, my preferences lean towards the soulful melodies of Arabic traditional music. I find solace and meaning in the profound words woven into this genre, creating a unique and culturally rich listening experience.

Through Couchsurfing, I'm excited to share and discover more about the artistic tastes and cultural influences of my fellow travelers. Whether it's exchanging book recommendations, discussing favorite films, or exploring the diverse world of music, I look forward to connecting with like-minded individuals who appreciate the beauty of storytelling in its various forms.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Embarking on solo camping journeys has been one of the most exhilarating and transformative experiences in my life. Venturing into the heart of nature, away from the familiar comforts of civilization, allowed me to connect with the world on a profound level. The sheer solitude and self-reliance during these excursions brought about a sense of self-discovery and resilience that few other adventures can offer.

In addition to solo camping, another remarkable feat that stands out is soaring through the skies during a paragliding escapade from a towering 1000-meter mountain. The adrenaline rush, coupled with the breathtaking panoramic views, created a moment of sheer awe and exhilaration. It was a literal leap into the unknown, defying gravity and embracing the freedom of flight. The experience not only tested my courage but also granted me a perspective on the world that can only be gained from the skies above.

These encounters with nature and daring activities have not only provided me with unforgettable memories but have also shaped my outlook on life, pushing boundaries and embracing the extraordinary.

Teach, Learn, Share

"Passionate about the enriching exchange of knowledge and experiences, I'm thrilled to engage in the spirit of 'Teach, Learn, Share.' Eager to share insights on Arabic and English languages, I find fulfillment in imparting linguistic skills. Additionally, my love for sports extends beyond personal enjoyment; teaching sports like volleyball, football, and badminton is a joyous endeavor. Open to learning from diverse perspectives, I look forward to connecting with fellow enthusiasts on Couchsurfing to create a vibrant community of shared wisdom and mutual growth. Let's embark on a journey of learning and collaboration!"

What I Can Share with Hosts

As a guest, I bring a wealth of experiences and skills to share with my hosts. Fluent in Arabic and English, I'm enthusiastic about offering language lessons to those interested in expanding their linguistic horizons. Beyond language, my passion for sports, including volleyball, football, and badminton, extends to teaching these activities for an enjoyable shared experience. I'm also adept in the kitchen, and I look forward to preparing delicious meals and exchanging culinary insights with my hosts. Together, let's create memorable moments through cultural exchange, language learning, and shared activities.
