About Me

I can tell that I'm more into people than places and always up for adventures.

You can check my ig profile I share quite much about my life: instagram.com/kasabakasabi

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

That's just a great environment and I'm here to connect with locals, travellers easily.

Interests

I'm interested in many different things like cinema, football, literature, poetry, dancing, cooking, and camping. I live on a terrace for a year, I have a small garden there and I enjoy it a lot. Also recently I got a Zenit camera and I wanna do analog photography, especially for my trips. I'm sure we will have a lot of talk about our interests.

About the cinema, I can say that my favorite directors are Wong Kar Wai, Theodoros Angelopoulos, Ingmar Bergman, Sergio Leone, Krzysztof Kieslowski, and Abbas Kiarostami. Doesn't really match but my favorite film is Scarface and I do like a lot more. I'm very into tv series too, I've watched around a hundred of them.

I was more into literature and poetry when I was younger and I used to like Panait Istrati, Paulo Coelho, Dostoyevsky, Gorky, Goethe, Emile Zola, Khalil Gibran... Unfortunately, I don't read much anymore. But I can say that I still enjoy a lot reading from Camus, Duras, Hesse, Fromm, Rimbaud, Sadegh Hedayat, Forugh Farrokhzad.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in Athens, Greece for 6 months as an Erasmus+ volunteer after a year of law internship that I had to do. That wouldn't sound very amazing to most people but when I remember those times, it warms my heart. I was so bored with my life and field, I wanted to do something else. Finally, I couldn't change anything but still, it is very special to me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can recommend the best films and tv series according to your taste after a small talk. I'd like to know about your life experience and talk about what we've learned from that -only if you're into that though haha. I definitely would like to know about the music and cinema of your culture!
