ABOUT ME

Hi everybody!

My name is Aylin(21 female)I live in Munich (Germany. I am studying Tourism Managment at the university of applied science.I know it sounds kind of boring(well of course it is sometimes ;-)) but it gives me the opportunity to do an internship in Paris...

I am a very open minded person, I love to meet new people from other countries and cultures. Therefore I am very excited to go abraod fo a longer stay for the first time...I have been doing some longer holiday trips but this is of course not the same as living in a foreign country.

I am a happy, outgoing, spontanous, crazy, nice..... person. I have a great preference of going to flea markets I think this is where my turkish roots come through :-)I often host my friends just to sit around and talk or gamble(Pokernights...)I also love to cook(and eat)-> I would describe myself as a bon vivant.
In my sparetime I play passionate volleyball in a club and in the summer I participate beach-vollyball turnaments(to be honest only two until now but -> to be continued)
Maybe I could give you at least an idea of my person(I am not the best rhetorician;-))

I am always ready to widen my horizon therefore I hope I can meet a lot of interesting people on this way.

PHILOSOPHY

At this point of my life I feel I haven´t seen quite a lot of the world and therefore I am eager to see more things, get to now new people, experience new cultures. To make a beginning of my "I want to see some more of the world"I am staying for an internship in Paris for 5 month.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Until now I am very new at this forum but my sister is a frequent memeber of CS and told me about her positive experiences. I hosted only one guy and stayed only on one couch still I am 100% convinced of the CS idea!!!!.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only one and this is probably the best thing that could have happened to me in Paris!!!

Interests

Arts(Mucha, Banksy, Klimt, Frida Kahlo..)
Sports: well to be honest I tried almost every better known kind of sport:
when I was very little I tried Tennis-> failed
after that i gave my best at gymnastics-> too lazy to get good
than I began golf-> got frustrated by losing so many golf bals and have to search for them in forests, lakes, high grass, sand ...
a long time of my youth I gave all at athletics-->too slow,but I was not giving up until I had found out that volleyball was the right thing for me :-)

besides from that I like... Skiing , Swimming, hiking

Other interests:
I love to cook(try new dishes etc.) some people are even scared how obsessed I can get with food:-)
I like to have a glass of wine with friends, travel of course!!dance, go out, listen to music a lot , sight seeing, shopping(the girly part of me), gamble with friends(Poker, Nobody is perfect) and a lot more......
