CURRENTLY TAKING A BREAK FROM HOSTING, sorry for the inconvenience ❤️

Hi everyone! I am Aysa! I am still discovering couchsurfing but I loved the experience I had until now. I live in paris and work at a restaurant for my gap year. I am originally dutch.
I have a big passion for traveling and so I do travel about one week per month and when I’m not abroad, I’d love to get to know you and your culture and your stories:)

I do work an awful lot, so I cannot be the host who will also be your private guide 24/7 but I can offer you to take you to nice places while I’m off, and offer you my place to sleep, a shower and just some company:)

I do have a cat, so if you’re very allergic, maybe make sure you have medication with you.

I just want to make clear that I have a big preference for hosting women. I’m not looking for a hookup!

Don’t take it too personally if I decline you. I just like to give female solo travellers a chance here:) I decline couples, you can think of the reasons, I don’t want to feel uncomfortable in my own home. Same for men. Nothing personal but the shower is in the room so we could see each other shower which again is why I prefer women. Also I get so many requests it’s hard to keep up.

Also for people texting me to meet up. I’m very very sorry but I don’t have a lot of freetime, I don’t even have enough time to meet the friends I already have so I will not reply to your messages. When I’m traveling I look for friends yes, but the hangout is a better way to organise I think.

Please put a bit of effort in the messages!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I often travel and I’d love to get to know the culture of the country! Either by hosting or being hosted.

Interests

• arts
• clubbing
• music
• hiking
• sports
• swimming
• reading books

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy making music, reading romance novels and detective crime novels. I play guitar and piano and sing, we could possibly jam together!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Taking a roadtrip with my family from turkey to the netherlands visiting every country we would come through.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share travel stories over some tea or some red wine, I love having those late night convos!

What I Can Share with Hosts

In exchange for my stay, I can cook clean, take care of your children, whatever you’d need me to do, and ofcourse have long travel conversations, and I expect a little bit the same from you when you visit me.
