About Me

ZOOORRYY i am away from istanbul until NOVEMBER 2017 so i dont have a house there and cant host you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i think i have been using cs for more than 10 years! first i've been hosted in bucharest and prague during a berlin to istanbul trip, both great experiences; and then many other places, from the middle east to india and south east asia. i hosted several people in my room when i was in istanbul, in diyarbakir, in bangkok and in my house in florence, actually only a small share of them was from cs. now that i live in istanbul, i often have someone sharing the floor where i sleep with me, from CS or not. welcome!

Music, Movies, and Books

_ books
I like reading, sometimes writing. I loved "Moscow at the end of the line" by Venedikt Erofeev, that my aunt gave me. maybe you know it?
_ music
i like a lot of stuff from Glenn Gould to Britney Spears (mainly before 2007 but not only, I adore Work Bitch)... and i like to discover new things!
_ cinema
i love films but am almost unable to see them out of a cinema, on tv or laptop (but i am improving! also depends on who i am watching it with). last film i ve seen (when it was snowing in istanbul): Tangerines... on the war in Abkhazia, it was wonderful
