🌍 Aycer Zahid Al-Maliki | Host, Photographer & Cultural Connector

Hi! I'm Aycer, a 32-year-old sports physiology graduate from Najaf, Iraq. I live with my wonderful mother in our cozy home, where I welcome guests from around the world with open arms and a warm Iraqi spirit.

As a passionate host, I love guiding travelers through the city, helping bridge language gaps, and sharing authentic cultural experiences. I prepare delicious traditional Iraqi meals, organize local tours, and offer heartfelt hospitality that turns strangers into friends.

I'm also a photographer and barista, running a home café where stories are brewed alongside coffee. I document my encounters with tourists through podcast-style videos on social media, blending travel, dialogue, and artistic expression.

Whether you're here for adventure, connection, or a taste of Iraqi culture—I'm excited to meet you and make your journey unforgettable

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love exchanging experiences and different cultures and bringing people together. I get to know people about my country, get to know their countries, ways of living and simplicity, and take from them experiences and positive things and apply them in my country. I love to travel and dream of traveling outside my country.
