我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I like couchsurfing when I travel alone as a way to meet with the locals and have some more genuine experience of the city. Although in the past few years I haven't had much chance to do it, because nowadays I tend to travel mostly for work and/or with my partner. Unfortunately, I also cannot host anyone these days, as I would normally like to spend time with my guests and my work schedule makes it really difficult.

兴趣

I had been singing in various bands of different genre for ten years until I permanently left Istanbul. Since 2013, I moved around quite a lot and haven't been able to find a new band, but still yearning for one. Otherwise, I like taking photos and put them on instagram as a proper millennial. I am also very much into cooking and occasionally co-organize cooking events around different themes.

Movies: I like movies from Tony Gatlif or Fatih Akin and similar kind of stuff. I have a love-hate relationship with Lars von Trier. Otherwise, I really like sci-fi and my favourite movie (if I have to pick really just one) is probably The Matrix, while my guilty pleasure is watching british period movies. Oh, and I also like to watch documentaries and to rant about them.

Books: I read some sci-fi, fantasy and dystopia stuff, like Death Gate Cycle from Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman and Tolkienverse in general. I read Les Jeux Sont Faits from Sartre a few times in both Turkish and French, still cannot decide whether it makes me happy or sad. I try to read some popular science as well, but lately I really mostly read papers to sleep as a proper boring phd student.
