Hey, I’m Ali from Baghdad! I speak Arabic and English, and I’ve started learning Spanish to connect with more people and share stories about life. I can be your local guide or just a friend with stories behind every corner. Passionate about showing travelers the true heart of Baghdad.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m couch surfing to see the city from a local perspective and have unique experiences I couldn’t get in a hotel, plus I love exploring new cultures, and staying with locals gives me a deeper connection to the place
