Hello everyone, this is Brahim. Originally from North Kurdistan, I've been living in Amsterdam since 2019. I have a wide range of interests including traveling, reading, sports, politics, music, cooking and eating, and, of course, meeting new people.

Please don’t request to stay my home for free staying or for hotels are expensive etc. I’ll only accept if you have personalized messages and if you have better reasons to stay at my place.

If you visit my home, feel free to make yourself at home too. I want you to be as comfortable as possible. If I visit your home, I'll respect your rules and privacy, and I'm more than willing to help with daily chores and cooking. It would be my pleasure to spend time together if our schedules fits.
