I’m Kurdish by nationality and come from Iraqi Kurdistan. Currently, I’m a master's student in South Korea. (Writing a thesis about women’s self-discovery journey while traveling) I’m also a yoga and meditation teacher. I consider myself down-to-earth, open-minded, and straightforward. I aspire to live a life with mindfulness. I take pleasure in having deep, meaningful conversations and interested in communicating with people from all walks of life. I really appreciate people who give me a wider perspective on life. Let’s inspire each other 🙌🏼

PS/ I’m sorry if I don’t reply quickly. I get many messages and I tend to have a busy schedule.
