I’m Shahad from Iraq — a warm soul with a big love for culture, connection, and good food. I’m open-minded, curious, and always ready to learn something new. I believe life is about shared stories, kind conversations, and meaningful experiences. Whether we’re walking through nature or talking over a homemade meal, I enjoy every moment of genuine connection. Hosting or being hosted for me isn’t just about travel — it’s about growing through people.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I want to live real cultural experiences, not just be a tourist. I love meeting people with different perspectives, exchanging ideas, and learning from the way others see the world. Couchsurfing helps me feel connected to humanity, one story at a time.

音乐、电影和书籍

I love music that speaks to the heart — emotional songs with real lyrics, like those by Shawn Mendes. His music helped me understand myself better and feel less alone.
When it comes to movies, I enjoy deep romantic dramas and anything that makes me feel something real.
As for books, I’m into self-development, real-life stories, and anything that helps me grow emotionally or mentally. I also enjoy reading about cultures and human nature.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I taught myself how to ride a motorbike — completely on my own — just because I wanted to feel free. I’ve done fun and unexpected adventures that not many girls in my country try.
I joined a medical training program while working full-time — it was exhausting, but I did it because I believe in growth and challenging my limits.
I’ve also started planning my own small business, learned how to cook traditional Iraqi dishes, and pushed myself to explore life from different angles.
I’m proud that I always try, even when it’s hard. I don’t give up easily, and I keep looking for new ways to grow and experience the world.

教，学，和分享

Teach: I can teach you how to make delicious Iraqi food, share simple Iraqi Arabic phrases, or even show you how I learned to ride a motorbike.
Learn: I’m working on improving my English, and I’m also passionate about learning Italian, Korean, and Chinese. I love exploring languages because they open doors to understanding cultures on a deeper level — especially through food, traditions, and everyday expressions.
Share: I love to share positive energy, meaningful stories, deep conversations, and a calm and safe space where people feel welcome
