Introduction:

Hey there, I'm Ijad from Germany.
I consider myself an open and easy going person, eager to learn more about languages, countries and people in general!
I've been to 13 countries yet and still have many countries on my list that I wanna travel to, because one of my goals in life is to travel as much as I can. Hope to visit more countries in the future and explore the different cultures, the nature, local food and all the cool local places.
And of course I'm looking forward to meet nice people and make some like-minded friends.
I'm currently a student and work also at a part time job in the same subject area as my studies, which is computer science.

I want to discover the different beautiful places on earth and make international friends along the way :)

In my free time:

In summer especially I like to go out, enjoy the sun, meet with friends or people at events and enjoy the time.
I like to do different sports such as calisthenics, football, basketball and riding my bike.
I'm very casual and like to bars, cafes, restaurants, or nice view points around the city.
And I'm always down for different activities such as bowling, playing pool, swimming, hiking, going on 1-day-trips, paragliding, whatever cool activities still exist 😁

As a local in Frankfurt:

I can give people some good suggestions regarding food and places to see as well as activities.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people, make friends, have a good time, travel the world, collect remarkable experiences, develop myself...

Interests

I love to do sports. In general I like to go out and eat something, hangout with friends. But I also try to do all different kind of things.

No matter if it's paintball, laser tag, playing football, basketball, going to eat Asian food, hanging out at home and watch a movie, I'm almost always down for that kinda stuff

I'm also currently into photography (beginner), but I enjoy taking amazing shots on my travelling trips.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've travelled Spain, Greece and Turkey in one trip over the course of 3 and a half weeks and visited multiple cities, met up with different friends of mine and made a couple new friends along the way while enjoying mountain views, beaches, ancient cities, local food, amazing rooftop bars and so on.

- I have been in 4 countries in just 24 hours...
- Went on great hikes (Germany)
- Been to the dead sea (Jordan)
- Jetskiing (Morocco)
- Been on a mountain that was above some clouds (Syria)
- Paragliding (Turkey)

Teach, Learn, Share

In general: I speak three languages, German, Arabic and English all of them fluently. So if you're looking forward to improve some language skills, I can gladly help you with that. Other than that I think every person has something to say about life experiences, such as places you've visited or things you like to do, so there will always be some nice exchange I hope!
I feel like CouchSurfing is a great opportunity to make international friends, which is the best thing to have in my opinion, plus when you invite me, I'll make sure that I'm the one to guide you around next time...
So let's learn from each other and broaden the horizon! 🙌🏼

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'll definitely take care to keep things clean as if it was my own place (since I personally take care of that myself)! I try to be the open & easy going person that is fun to hangout with and that is down to almost all activities, so if there are any ideas to make my stay and your CS experience a good one... Bring it on! If my possibilities allow, I'll make sure to bring something from my country as a gift, and when that's not the case, I gotta invite you on something at least :)
