I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania but originally my parents are from Najaf, Iraq. I live now in Tempe, Arizona. I just recently graduated from Arizona State University in Mechanical Engineering. I love to travel and explore while meeting new people who are like minded 😌! I love to go to work out, go surfing, rock climbing, and just trying new things!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling and it can be very expensive to travel especially if you don’t know the city. Couchsurfing is great way to reduce on expenses and also meet amazing like-minded people who are great to talk to and can share their experiences and suggestions in a new city. 😊

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One time I was taking a bus from Venice Italy to Ljubljana, Slovenia. I went to the bus station and while I waited I stopped to pray. As soon as I was done I turn around to see a bus leaving. I wasn’t sure if it was mine or not but it was around the same time mine should be leaving. So without hesitation I jumped in front to stop the bus before it could leave and luckily it was my bus and they let me board after I explained to them. Once I was on I was so sleepy and tired but I stayed awake for most of the ride up (about 3-4 hrs) until the last hour. Then I said let me take a quick nap and I’ll wake up when we get there. Come to find out I fell asleep for 5 hours and woke up in Budapest, Hungary 🇭🇺😂😅!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

Be kind to others and open to learning! ☺️
I can teach you to surf, draw/paint, and martial arts (i.e. boxing, wrestling, jujitsu).

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’d love to share my time and life experience and prospectives with my host. I’d love to be able to help around the house whether it be cooking or cleaning. Also I’d love to share whatever I’m capable of and what is useful to my host.
