I am currently working as a project manager with a local NGO in Iraqi Kurdistan. I've been lucky enough to live in a handful of countries and travel to a few more and have met some incredible people along the way! I love to travel and learn about new cultures (and food) and try new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing really is the best way to meet people (locals and foreigners) who know the ins and outs of their city. My first time couchsurfing was in Berlin and it was incredible - I met some very interesting people. We're all here for the same reasons - to meet some great people and share experiences.
