My name is Ashraf, an enthusiastic traveller and backpacker from Baghdad, Iraq. I am a person who fell in love with travelling and enjoys exploring around the world which meant that I never came back the same person, but my long journey has uplifted my spirit and made me more energetic, more self-aware, more open and have more self-confidence and eager to explore more.

Ever since I left my country because of war, I have lived and travelled to many countries and not forgetting to mention that Couchsurfing have helped me meet amazing people from different cultures and backgrounds. For that reason you will have a great time, staying with me/hosting me or just meeting me in the city.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am here to meet people, to host and to be hosted.
Share what I can with every individual and learn new things.
