About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Want to meet people from all over the world in my hometown of Erbil.

ABOUT ME

5 years ago, I went on an exchange program to the US and spent one year there. It changed my life. It opened my eyes to so many things. I met so many people and made many knew friendships. I was hosted by an American family for the whole year , it was an amazing experience. Since that time, I never stopped travelling. Even if it is hard for us to get a visa for some countries, I took every chance there was to travel. I went back to the US and visited Turkey more than 5 times ( easiest place to get ) . I also had the chance to go to Germany for 2 weeks on a job , unfortunately didn't see that much because of the packed schedule, but had a wonderful time with the German hosts and the new German friends I met. Sooo, now I want to meet people from every corner of the world, I want to learn about all the different cultures and I want to listen to what people from such different places have to say. I won't be able to travel at winter because of the loads of work I have to do for my Medical studies , so I think I will compensate for that by meeting people who are interested in Erbil and Kurdistan. At Spring break , and Summer I will try to go to all the places I want to see. Next summer, I am planning for a Euro trip so hopefully I will save up and find some coaches till then.
