I enjoy travelling, mostly around Europe and the Mediterranean Sea. I’m passionate about public transit, cheese, cinema, history and geography :)

I lived in Beyrouth (Ras El Nabaa) and in Istanbul (Cihangir) for 6+ months. Then London and Amsterdam for 4 years. I’m now back in Paris.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Im the the kind of people, who can divert from their way to the office for the sake of helping lost tourists in the street. What I like about CS is being part of a community, which is all about sharing tips and helping each other discovering new cities and everything that comes with them.

I don't believe in the CS orthodoxy, so feel free to ask for a last-minute stay without any other form of interaction ;)

Please, when you wanna grab a beer or a coffee don't ask me to go in a super touristy/boring place... :)
