Hi everyone! My name is Öykü. (pronouns: she / they). I'm a Turkish film critic based in Paris. I'm also a translator, a freelance copywriter and an PhD candidate. Yeah, I do love writing about movies. I don't usually take holidays but instead, prefer to go to film festivals! I live in Parisian suburbs with my partner and Ulysse, the cutest cat you can imagine.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

As I mentioned above, I go to film festivals a lot but since I'm a freelancer, I'm not usually payed in advance for my travel expenses and after some points, it gets economically impossible for me to survive. And I'm also a bit fed up with sleeping in 18 - bed dormitory type hostels, and would love to be able to properly interact with people with whom I share a living space.

音乐、电影和书籍

I'm a big fan of 60s, 70s, 80s rock, pop, disco classics. Otherwise, I love what people would call "world music", with oriental and psychedelic tones (Khruangbin, Altin Gun, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard)

Books: Ulysses (lol that's obvious, right?), Proust, Woolf, Duras, Kafka, Cocteau. Anything about post-colonial studies, intersectionality, queer theory and feminism.

Cinema: Well... There are lot of things to say. We can talk about it when we meet....

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Existing, isn't that enough? Just kidding... I interviewed Jane Campion, Wes Anderson and Greta Gerwig, does that count?

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Hmm. homemade Turkish food, a double bed, books, dvd's, vinyls, Ulysse's furry tummy and tours around the city?
