Also, being a traveler myself, I always want to meet new friends and hear new stories!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I played professional table tennis (got a very good rank), guitar and travelled at the same time in 2018.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a ton of travel and football stories to share, I can also teach guitar and the Kurdish language to newcomers!
It’s fascinating how there is always something new and unique to learn about each new person we meet. :-)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can provide my hosts with a room to stay in, a friend(s) to keep company, guidance through the beautiful town of Suli, and a chance to meet my four gracious cats.
But most importantly, if the weather allows it, a ride through the countryside or a hike in the vast and wild nature of Kurdistan.
