Hey there! I’m Ali, originally from Iraq 🇮🇶 and currently living and working in Basra. I’m a passionate learner, friendly traveler, and someone who loves to connect with people from different cultures. I work in the oil industry and also have experience in real estate — two very different worlds that keep life exciting!

When I’m not working, I enjoy exploring new places, trying different foods, reading, and learning about personal growth and spirituality. I’m always up for a deep conversation or a chill walk around the city.

I believe that kindness and openness make the world a better place. Whether it’s hosting, surfing, or just meeting for a coffee, I’m here to share good vibes and stories.

Let’s connect, share experiences, and maybe laugh over some tea or coffee 🍵☕!

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing because I believe in genuine human connections. Travel isn’t just about places — it’s about people, stories, and shared experiences. I want to meet locals, learn different perspectives, and explore cultures through real conversations, not just tourist spots.

Whether I’m hosting or surfing, I love the idea of helping each other, building trust, and making the world feel a little smaller and a lot more connected.
