I am Italian and Turkish and have lived in Vienna, Turin, Milan, Istanbul and now Paris.

I believe that travelling, or simply the acquirement of experiences, is the best way to live your life to the fullest. Being spontaneous, going on adventures and discovering new cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a great way to meet new people with the same mindset as you and also to have a taste of the local life. These are two things that I try to find wherever I travel.
