Hola :)

I'm Luna, half French half German, currently staying in Paris.

My mission in life is to hand a microphone and screen to those whose voices are ignored or unheard, highlight unseen injustice and atrocities, but also to work towards possible solutions for major problems in this world. Due to my great love for art, I discovered journalism, film, writing and photography as the perfect means to rise awareness, appeal to people's empathy and help other people to make their voices heard and speak up for themselves.

I'm currently studying journalism and completed a bachelors in everything you can imagine at once (politics, sociology, anthropology, ethnology, political law, history and economy with focus on subsaharan Africa and Europe), which makes me quite a passionate discussion partner. No worries I'm not talking about neocolonialism or the rise of populism all the time, I also love to share with someone how we experience the world, how we feel as human beings in a sometimes sick society, what we have learned, what we would like to learn, what we are dreaming of, what we are fearing. How we are feeling when we look at the stars. What is making us feel alive. Sorry, I lost myself.

Traveling is my great passion, especially because of the people I meet. People like you, that randomly stumble across my way ! I'm always open and a pretty easy going person, if you need your space that's cool, if you wanna hang out that's fine too, I accept things as they come :)

Except any form of discriminatory opinions, hard pass on this one.

Cheers !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I happen to randomly decide to jump on a bus or car and drive to some place I've never been to, without any plan and with an open heart for new people

Music, Movies, and Books

Music : I actually listen to any kind of music unless it's well done. On the one hand there is this ridiculously huge obsession for drum and bass and trance, also I can listen to downtempo sets for a whole week and won't get bored. Then I'm a lot into Northern African music and music from the Sahel region, or Middle Eastern music. I dig hip hop as well as Jazz as well as Indie Soul, so it's all mixed up in 45 Spotify playlists (yup I know it's bad)

Filmdirectors : Gaspard Noé, Xavier Dolan, Samuel Theis (Petite nature), Mounia Meddour (Papicha), Waad al-Kateab (For Sama), Barry Jenkins (Moonlight), Sembène Ousmane

Books : Steppenwolf (Hermann Hesse), The Greater Miracle (Thomas Glavinic), Lot (Brian Washington), A Lover's Discourse (Roland Barthes)
