A Frenchie at heart, with balkanic roots, I'm a living, loving, clumsy paradox. I enjoy writing poetry in French, English and Albanian - and then, if I meet the right musicians, I love bringing my poems to life through music.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Being a highly curious and free-spirited person, I find great joy in meeting new people and getting to know them, their culture, their passions, their story.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love me some old-school jazz: Ella Fitzgerald, Chet Baker, Miles Davis to mention a few. Amy Winehouse stays the brightest star in my sky of music.

Directors whose works move me deeply: Xavier Dolan, Richard Linklater, Emir Kusturica, Jim Jarmusch, Sam Mendes...

Sylvia Plath's poetry is my avid life companion.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took a piano backpacking with me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am willing to share anecdotes and random thoughts, smiles and walks, connection and literature, pseudo-intellectual references and all that jazz.
