Hi there! I’m Najeeb, an engineer specializing in photovoltaics, but I’m also really into active, creative and artsy things.

I’m originally from Jordan but have been living in Germany since 2014, mostly in the cozy town of Marburg. Nature is my happy place, so you’ll often find me hiking, camping under the stars, or just soaking up the outdoors. When I travel, I enjoy the journey as much as the destination.

I love meeting new people, sharing stories, and making friends all over the world. And yes, in case it wasn’t clear, I’m definitely a cat person!

Looking forward to connecting with you and sharing some great experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Coming from an Arabic culture, I naturally value good hospitality and enjoy having guests over. It’s an honor for me when my guests leave with positive memories of their stay. I genuinely find joy in doing nice things with others and making their experience memorable.

Beyond that, Couchsurfing allows me to connect with people from different backgrounds and cultures, which broadens my perspective and enriches my life. It’s a great way to share experiences, exchange stories, and learn from one another. Plus, it offers the opportunity to explore new places through the eyes of a local, making travel more authentic and meaningful.

Interests

I enjoy exploring various activities and trying new things. Recently, I’ve developed a passion for photography and Photoshop. I love capturing moments with my camera and using my imagination to edit them. Feel free to check out my work on Instagram: @Show.Your.Kitties

Music, Movies, and Books

I’m into Indie and 80’s music, but my taste in music is
pretty colourful; anything from LoFi to Metal, depending on my mood.

When it comes to movies, I appreciate those that are well-made and thoughtfully directed, regardless of genre. I’m particularly drawn to Wes Anderson’s films for their unique visual style and storytelling.

I enjoy reading on train rides and occasionally listen to audiobooks. My go-to genres are fantasy, science fiction, and sometimes Japanese mangas.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went on a night hike in the Wadi Rum desert, where the sky was so clear the Milky Way looked like a glowing ribbon overhead. The warm sand under my bare feet felt amazing, especially against the cool night air. Lying there in the sand, surrounded by endless stars, was something I’ll never forget.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to play chess, ride a bike or skateboard, create pottery, cook Arabic food, or share some photography tips with you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer a respectful and considerate stay. I’d love to cook a traditional Arabic meal and share stories. I’m also happy to help out around the house and contribute to a positive experience for both of us.
