About Me

I’ve just finished my studies and started working recently !
I'm living in Paris with my 4 other flatmates. I lived in Istanbul for a year and came back to France a year ago. I’d be happy to meet foreigners who traveled and want to exchange about our experiences. I think that our world nowadays lacks sharing moments between people and hosting has proven me that hospitality still exists in our societies ! That’s why I love using couchsurfing or warmshower when I travel.

I just finished my master’s degree in Literature and Philosophy and I’m now working in documentary and fiction films.

I love camping, cycling, climbing and nature. I like film photography and astronomy. I also love animals. I like to write and read many books at the same time! I'm also a ballet dancer and love to discover new types of dances.
I also just started to take guitar lessons so if you have any skills (or a guitar!) I’d be very happy to practice with you.

I am very sociable but at the same time can be a bit shy in the middle of group, therefore I enjoy listening to people talking and like to get deeper into the subjects we evoke. Learning about languages, cultures and religions is something that drives me into life, so these are topics that I’m quite passionate about!

We used to host WarmShower cyclists with my roommate in our flat in Istanbul, so I'm not really "new" in the hosting community, I think that I hosted more than 15people in a year, sometimes hosting 3 differents persons on the same time! It was messy but it’s such good memories. :)

If you need any help or advice about Paris or France please contact me, I’d be happy to even meet for a coffee!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing in order to meet locals when I travel, for I always want to know more about the country that I visit and I know only locals know the good places ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

I originally like rock&roll, alternative rock and electronic music, as well as traditional French music. But the more I live the more I realize that my tastes in music are very eclectic and that I can enjoy anything as long as there is something resonating with me in the song.

Favorites filmmakers : Tarkovsky, Welles, Bergman, Antonioni, Andrea Arnold, Truffaut, Fellini, Nuri Bilge Ceylan, Fatih Akin…
Favorite actors : Jim Carrey, Robin Williams, Mery Streep, Julia Roberts…

Books : I’ve read so many books in my life, both for my studies and for my personal pleasure, it’s really tough to make a list… but just ask me about it :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Doing hitchhiking in the east of Türkiye in the middle of nowhere with a friend without anyone stopping, and ending up spending 12hours in a truck in the middle of the snow along the Iranian, Irakien and Syrian borders with the most beautiful landscapes I’d ever seen.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd be very happy to make you discover my culture and to discover yours, through food, music, culture, sports...
I can teach french and ballet dance
