Hey there 👋

I’m Kosar, a Junior Doctor living in Erbil, Kurdistan, Iraq.

I love traveling and meeting new people ✨
I like to make friends every single nation out there xD

I’d love to host as well but unfortunately I’m not currently able to so I’d just meet up and show travelers around in my home city.

My native language is Kurdish, I speak English well. I used to speak arabic really well but now I’m not as good.

I have traveled to Iran, Turkey and the United States.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love music and dancing, I have a particular interest in traditional folklore music

I love learning about new cultures and people’s beliefs, I’d also love talk about my culture and people.

I love tennis, table tennis, swimming and skydiving.

I used to play some piano but that was in the past lol
