Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am a heavy traveller. Based in Paris, I travel for work and for leisure and I never can get enough of it. I love food, good friends, a lot of nature but I still consider myself a city person.

I am on Couchsurfing because I cannot think of a better energy in life like what you get from travelling and actually experiencing your trip.

Interests

Travelling & languages
Tons of music both live and at home, in the triangle Pop/Rock/Electronic majors, into smaller bands and smaller venues
Taking pictures
Playing the keyboard and singing, in my band and on my own
Food, eating it and cooking it. Favourite food in the world is Turkish.
I am vegetarian.

I read: Haruki Murakami, Samuel Beckett, Boris Vian, Daniel Pennac

Teach, Learn, Share

Nothing that changes us really comes from others, all we can do is breathe inspiration, in and out.
I am all about that approach, even though many aspects of our world today try to push us away from each other.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cooking, music for any mood, a good laugh, a walk, and a guide in Paris when they visit.
