Hey world!

I'm Karzan Maaroof, 25 years old from Erbil/Kurdistan Region/ Iraq.
I've studied French language and literature at university. I'm a teacher of the most wonderful kids on this green planet and I'm in love with my job!
I love traveling more than anything, but as I can't travel often, I also like to host travelers because that's for me the best alternative.

I am open to different cultures, personalities and ideas. I like to listen to people telling me about their cultures and I tell them about my culture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a good way to meet new people. and it makes travelling much easier than it is. You can't learn about a country's culture and daily life in a hotel the way you learn in a house, especially when the person is nice and open minded !

Interests

When I'm free, I watch a movie or read a book. If not, I go out for a walk or meet friends. I also like to play video games sometimes.

Since I can't travel much, I do a lot of hiking, camping and picnics.

• video games

Music, Movies, and Books

I love classic music (slow musics generally) and sometimes like pop and rock. I listen to every kind of music.

I love movies. My best ones: Mr. Nobody, Lord of the rings, Shawshank Redemption, Dead poets society, Pursuit of happiness٫ 12th fail...etc.

I'm in true love with books! One book that affected my life and personality a lot is The little prince.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent one night in Paris on the streets without sleeping, because i hadn't got a host and didn't find a cheap hotel room, but it was really amazing !

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell you about our culture and our long history as Kurds.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A Kurdish meal ! and a walk into the city.
