Hey! This is Maryam, aka Mother of Jesus. I'm an Iranian girl studying in Tbilisi, Georgia.

I've been here for 6 years, but I'm not a local. So, don't ask me about recommendations. After a week of being in Tbilisi, you'll know it better than me.

I love meeting new people and experiencing new things. I'm into biology, geopolitics, and comedy. I do improv theater (almost) every week, and I once did a stand-up comedy and failed:)

A country is not just about lifeless buildings and old stories that are faded in history. It's the people who make a place unique.

⚠️If you are sending me a request to stay:

1. Please finish your text with your last used emoji. It's a funny way of getting to know people, and also, I'd be sure you actually read my profile.

2. I am hosting to give "back" to the community. I ONLY host people who have hosted others and have been on the app for a while.

3. I am studying most of the time these days, so when I host, I can't hang out much. Treat me like a hotel, I don't mind.

4. Our apartment is in the Vake district, in a very central location. A million busses come and go.

5. We always appreciate it if you cook your local food for us. We have Iranian snacks for you as well.
