Hey! I'm Arda. Originally from Istanbul, I'm currently doing my master's degree in finance in Paris. I'm very open minded and outgoing. I care about minority issues, gender equality, LGBT rights and all the rest I think you may guess.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have many international friends that I met over my college years and while I was doing my Erasmus in Lyon. I really like to meet new people, especially when they come from a different culture.

I would be pleased to show you around if I have nothing special to do during your time here in Paris :)

Interests

Going out and sharing a coffee/tea/beer with friends, discovering a new place, increasing my knowledge concerning economics, monetary policy, politics, finance and all the other stuff that I'm interested in.

But also: Rick and Morty, Monty Python, Liverpool FC, Dark Humor, Britpop.
