Hi, I’m Boubker (but you can call me Bob, as most of my friends do). I’m 25 years old and living in Göteborg, Sweden. I’m a mechanical engineer by profession, but a traveler at heart.

Because of my work, I’d describe myself as a bit of a nerdy enthusiast when it comes to aviation and cars, but of course my main passion is travel. Working full-time doesn’t allow me to travel as much as I’d like, but I always try to fit in trips on weekends or short vacations to escape my routine.
The first thing I look for when traveling is meeting people and creating new connections.

I started traveling solo with my first trip to Croatia in January 2024, and as they say: once you start solo traveling, you never go back.

Although I’ve had a Couchsurfing account since 2016, I really began using it regularly in the summer of 2024. At first I used it just to hang out with people while traveling alone, but later I started hosting travelers at my place in Sweden. I quickly got into the community, and now Couchsurfing has become a necessary part of my trips.

IMPORTANT RANDOM NOTES 🗒️ :
- I don't smoke i don't drink.
- Requests generated by ChatGPT are not the best way to find a host.
- If you are a guy and you have references only from women, you need to reconsider the purpose of this community.
- I expect from my guest to leave the place and things as they found them.
- If you are only using CS because you can't stay with someone you're visiting, or if you will be busy all day with a conference or event it's better to not send a request.
- I don't mind to host new people with no references but at least you should sound into the community and take some time to learn about the concept.
- If you are introvert and can't maintain conversation i don't think this is your best place, i just hate silent awkward moments.
- If i’m hosting you on a weekend and we didn’t discuss the plan for next day or which time to wake up, please don’t be early because i try to get extra sleep on weekends. But feel free to wake up and go out if you want just stay quiet.
- If you are leaving on a weekday i prefer that you leave same time as me in the morning when i go to work around 8.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I always say that I don’t care about the place as much as I care about the people I meet, that’s the main reason I’m here.
My main focus when traveling is connecting with locals and fellow travelers to experience the real culture and atmosphere.
I really appreciate the community of Couchsurfing and all the people doing their best to keep this culture, i'm happy to be part of it .

Music, Movies, and Books

Everywhere I travel i like to explore the local music that's why my playlist is always mixed and weird.
Not into watching movies and TV shows anymore because of lack of time but I've always preferred TV shows over movies and my favorite of all time is GOT.

Staying with someone doesn't mean only having a place to stay but it's about connecting and sharing stories.
