Hi,
I'm a Swedish journalist of Iraqi descent. I live in Sweden, married, but no children. Trough my work I do a lot of traveling. My main focus is the Middle East, primarily Iraq, but also Syria and Libya. In addition to the Middle East I have also covered the current conflict in Ukraine, so far I have covered around 10 conflicts.
I have studied Arabic at the University of Stockholm, and taken classes in Egypt. I do my own interviews in Arabic, but I feel that I need to practice the language on a more regular basis, than I do for the moment. I am doing an exchange in French for the moment, and I can really tell the difference only after six weeks, so I hope that I can find somebody who speaks Arabic, who wants to practice his och her Swedish. I have taught Swedish as a second language in Sweden, and at a university in Colorado.

My hobbies and interests: languages, literature, politics, cinematography, , cross country skiing, theatre and of course traveling. So far I have been to 70 countries. Three years ago I found a new passion: sailing. I bought a small sail boat, three, four people can actually live onboard. Last year I sailed from May until the beginning of November. So during the summer I pretty much lives onboard my boat. Looking forward to having an interesting conversation with you in Swedish or in Arabic. Cheers Urban
