I was born in the tiny island of Bahrain to a Persian father and a Filipina mother. Graduated with an English Literature and Linguistics degree and worked in the journalism field for 2 years.

Istanbul is my first home living independently. That's when I've built a home for myself and welcome friends and anyone who may need a comfortable and welcoming place to stay.

I left Istanbul 3 years ago and I finished my Master's in Anthropology of Dance in 4 countries in Europe. Since then, I've been living in France.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Working a full time job and having a really active social life can be exhausting. Travelling and meeting new people is my main motivation to keep going. This summer, my upcoming plans for the holidays will hopefully be packed with travel.

My passion in life is to truly soak up as many cultures as possible. To explore, taste, dance, smell, listen, breathe, learn, create, think and live.
