A ship is safe in harbor, but that's not what ships are for ********************************************************** A passionate paragliding pilot and researcher who loves traveling, exploring new places and meeting up with new people. I was born and raised in Kirkuk city but moved to Erbil in 2009. I work as a Network Engineer and spend most of my time outside the house and travel on my free time and holidays. I love dangerous and adventurous places, a wild person who's refusing to grow up, but most importantly The Godfather of dark humor (don’t text me if you’re easily offended :P)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm not able to travel all the time so instead hosting travelers is a great way of having just the tip of the experience :P

I love travelling and meeting new people. Getting to combine those two by getting to know people and letting them share their favorite spots and experiences of their city is one of the best concepts imaginable.

Couchsurfing helps me explore the world and get to know diverse group of people and I love listening to foreign languages!

I joined Couchsurfing since 2016 but preferred typical tourist and hotels experience until I got to be a Couchsurfer and met those amazing special people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell you some scary-freaking stories, give you a glance of the history of Mesopotamia.
I can also show you around and give you a ride if I was available, invite you for a drink and sometimes cook (not sure if you would like it though)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can tell you some scary-freaking stories, show you some abandoned places in Erbil, give you a glance of the history of Mesopotamia.
