Hey,

Im Karim, open minded, friendly and always interest to meet new People .

Like to talk, but more than only the typical smalltalk.
Like to travel through new countries always in a new way and to discover more than the normal tourist spots.

Im from Germany and live right now in Cologne.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a young adult I made a trip alone and without any plan to Morocco.
It was eye-opening experience that traveling can be more then just book a flight, visit the tourist spots and go to the hotel.

I hitchhiked a lot, met locals on the street, was part of a hippie festival in the desert and slept alone with a baby cat at the beach. I know it sounds like a big cliche, but I was just like that and I had a really good time.

Thats why I really enjoy traveling offside the typical tourist way and for that I made some good experience on couchsurfing ( unfortunately we mostly used the account of my friend I traveled a lot with, so my reference are so empty).

Now 8 years later, I made a lot of this trips, had a lot of adventures, I still like this way to travel, but not any vacation has to be exclusively like this. So I like the mix of courchsurfing and hitchhiking together with also booking sometimes a flat or public transportation.

Right now Im together with a big group of friends in a big house in the nature. ( Grignols, small village near Bordeaux) And after I will travel alone to the Westcoast in France.

I didn't traveled a lot in France and also because of that I would like to have some nice experience with some locals.
So Im looking right now for some nice hots in the cities close to the coast. ( Period of time: 05.09.24 - 12.09.24, for around 2 days)
