My name is Antoine, I'm 24 years old and I'm currently living in İstanbul, where I work.

I studied in Northern France for 5years and I had the chance to do my Erasmus year in Turkey. Ever since, I try to travel as much as my schedule allows me to to discover new places, interact with different cultures and meet with new people :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is the best opportunity I found so far to meet up with local people

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: The Usual Suspects, Interstellar, Into The Wild, 12 Angry Men, Taxi Driver, Seven, Persepolis

Music: used to be a Hip-Hop purist but now definitely into electronic music, from old school Detroit house music to deep dark techno and transe

Books : rather books on current political issues, such as French politics and economics, international relations, history of the Middle East

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to New York to be part of a simulation of the United Nations, during 5 stimulating but exhausting days, playing the role of a diplomat trying to defend the interests of its own country and negotiating with many others students to write a final resolution on topics like "Water Security" or "The safeguard of Cultural Intangible Heritage"
