I'm living in Paris, I have master degrees in political sciences and city planning and now I’m specialized into public transport issues.

I love travelling and I'm very eager to discover new people and cultures. I also love trying new types of food, chatting for hours, and taking photos of beautiful sunrises.

As I’m living in Paris in a three bedrooms share-flat, if you wanna come I can give you a mastress on the floor in my (big) bedroom, but no private room ! Also for the moment I’m very busy with work and sometimes finishing very late so I can’t host more than two nights...but I hope it will change soon

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a very sociable person and I absolutely love chatting, meeting new people, sharing ideas, cultures, and travel stories. As the stereotyped couch surfer likes to say "travelling is not only about the places we go but also the people we meet", and I want to use this idea both ways, allowing people visiting Toulouse to have a fun human experience and discovering people while travelling.

Interests

I am an avid drawer, and passionate about architecture and city planning. I like taking photos and trying subway system in each new city I visit. I love ALL food (and particularly the one I never tried before), sad movies that makes you cry in the plane, Iranian cinema, talking about political issues for hours, dancing and partying.

Music, Movies, and Books

I truly love all kinds of films, but if I have to make a list of my favorites ones it will be : Mommy (Xavier Dolan); Deux Jours Une Nuit (Frères Dardenne), Taxi Téhéran (Jafar Panahi), Lion, Please Stand By, States of Grace, Mustang, Divines, La Haine...

Kanye west and Harry Potter's biggest fan, I also love The God of the Small Things (Arundhati Roy) and dystopia stories (The Handmade Tale, 1984, etc). My favorite book ever is La Horde du Contre Vent (Alain Damasio).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I’m drawing metro maps of cities I visited. I’m selling these to different shops in France and thanks to that money I can travel 😬 If you’re interested to take a look : https://www.etsy.com/fr/shop/Alcatela?ref=shop_sugg

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to chat about life after a lovely french meal that I had cook for you. Indeed, I believe that sharing culture through food and wine is one of the best ways to get to know each other.
