About Me

I am a student in Women's and Gender studies. I am a feminist and also a fiction writer. A lot of times, I travel to see new things to write about, and sometimes I travel to skip seeing and relax, but always for meeting new people. I've met great ppl through couchsurfing and I love to do it over and over.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

More than everything in the world, I am interested in people and their stories. So, while travelling, more than being enthusiastic about watching monuments, landscapes or old buildings , I love to see how people of a city are living their lives there. For me, Eifel without knowing how Parisians see it is just a cold picture that I can see it from the monitor of my laptop, and the same for everything else. Therefore, couch surfing is a great match with my style of travelling, because I don't travel to relax, I travel to learn.

Interests

Writing, and reading fiction and poetry.
writing about people.
Watching movies

Music, Movies, and Books

I love classical music, Mozart especially. I love Rock and Post Rock music, and some of my favourite bands are 'archive' and 'Kwoon'.

Some of my favourite writers are Kafka, William Faulkner, John Steinbeck, Jorge Orwell, Salinger, Beckett, Genet, and loads and loads of others who have created true art, no matter when and where they have been living.

and of course, I have a long list of my favourite movies; Michael Haneke, Ken Loach, Sidney Lumet, and Elia Kazan are some of my favourite film directors amongst others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Writing, travelling and making new friends have been the most amazing things I have been doing for years.
