Hi there,
I’m Muntathar (I know it would be hard to pronounce that). A general doctor from Baghdad, Iraq.
I try to have an interesting life by experiencing new things and seeing the beauty of the world as it is and making new friends from all over the world because I like to get to know different cultures and traditions and understand the places from the perspective of their people. It depends on the mood and if I can find a subject or not but I think in general I would be described as not very talkative but I try to be social as much as possible

You can find me on Instagram: muntatharsaad

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I like to get know people from different nationalities and make friends and I feel this is the best way to do so because what a better chance to know someone than to experience new things with them

Interests

Traveling of course is my no. 1 interest in life and I like to get to know different cultures, seeing new places and making friends from all over the world as I think this is what life about (to explore and make connections with other human beings). I’m fascinated by history too and like visiting historical places or hearing about their stories. I do also like watching movies as they also transfer you to this alternate reality and let you live with the characters and feel them

• movies
• traveling
• geography
• languages
• meeting new people
• ruins
• trying new things
• history and culture

Music, Movies, and Books

It’s hard to limit the list of music and movies I like in this but maybe if you get to know me better you’ll know what I like but I have to say that I’m a big Marvel movies fan. And I’m not very much into reading books but I like buying them and how they look although I usually don’t have time or the desire to finish one

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

* Crossed the most dangerous bridge in the world in Hunza Pakistan
* Went on a trip to Fairy Meadows passing by the second most dangerous road in the world and doing hiking and trekking in the for more than 8 hours to reach the base camp of Nanga Purbat mountain (killer mountain, the 9th highest mountain on Earth)

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to share the things that I know with others so probably I can give some info about Iraq history, culture and traditions, maybe I can even share few medical advices with you if you’re interested since it’s my field and for those who are interested in the Arabic Language I can help you with that gladly as I like learning languages a lot too but I really didn’t have time to practice that

What I Can Share with Hosts

Maybe stories about my life and my country and what I have learned during my life time 😅. Also if I have free time it would my pleasure to take you around my beloved city, Baghdad
