About Me

I spent quiet some part of my life on the streets hitchhiking, I saw everything up and down from my village till around the globe, but I am a learned programmer and now about to settle down, not where I am born anymore, but with the knowledge I recieved!
I've done lots of things in my life, but I am trying to stay away of social media, its more important to take the experience and build it into your life, your personality and expanding your view of this world. I wanna try to be a bigger wheel in this world so I can reach sth.

((I would be happy to host people, but honestly barely anybody coming to my city... If you are here, catch me up and if its just for a beer. If you are here for checking out the university, let me show you the institutions or help you with whatever, I studied physics here and got used to the crazy bureaucracy)) - That was when I was living near Frankfurt. Now of course I am still happy to host and help you here in Baghdad

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Learning from you.
Finding brothers, sisters, new homies, people which make me curious, people which wanna make me keep them for a life time and people so interesting that I would love to spend nights listening to them

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- I hitchhiked about 20000km with about 250 lifts (Somewhere I stopped counting)
- In 2018 I made a bet with friends if I can reach Toyko from my german village with only money for food, I made it after seven weeks of street and sea hitchhiking :P
- Went to Iran almost every year till corona, I helped out as an english teacher and tried some business
- Two years ago I was camping and a bear attacked me in the night
- I spent a night in prison in China, Xinjiang
... I dont know if the last two fit in "One Amazing Thing I've done"
Now I am building up a company in Baghdad, that might be the reason why we cant catch up
