I am a teacher in Iraq and I want to do nothing but travel during my holidays. Oh boy...I've got stories.

I always feel a bit out of place on this app as it seems like everyone on here loves dancing, karaoke, and fun. I'm much more calm and as my sister once said

"I always try to plan something when I hear you're coming to visit but then I remember all you want to do is sip coffee and converse"

That sums me up pretty well, going on walks are great too!

I've been called funny but...I don't see it lol. You'll have to decide for yourself! I sometimes don't enjoy humor as it is usually a cover for sadness and I wish we all could show are feelings more openly. I'm working on that.

I solo travel a lot and usually just wander around looking for book stores, second hand shops, cute coffee shops and try to find a hangout partner from here. I am always pleasantly surprised with surfers! Always a nice time:)

I don't always write reviews, so please only accept my invitation to hang out if you want to spend some time with someone, not just for a review, please

I chose my hosts usually based of their eyes, I feel like I'm good at seeing if they're kind hearted through their eyes and of course I read the profile as well but eyes are key!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet locals.

Interests

I'm an information sponge and would love to experience all the great things life has to offer. I love math and history, but people are my favorite. I love starting up conversations with strangers and turning them into friends. I don't think there is anything more interesting than the human mind.

Cloudy and rainy weather is my jam. Hiking always brightens my day!

Music, Movies, and Books

You've Got Mail, Inglorious Bastards, Pulp Fiction, Gone with the Wind, Hanna, Emma. To name a few.

Animal collective, Radio Head, Goo Goo Dolls, Aerosmith, Taylor Swift..etc.

Wuthering Heights, Pride and Prejudice, A Seperate Peace, Great Gatsby, Great Expectations.
