HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I've hosted and met up with people from various countries when I was living in Anaheim, California and Istanbul, Turkey. I've surfed in Buenos Aires and Salta in Argentina, in Izmir, Turkey, and in Krakow and Gdynia in Poland. And since then, I have had the chance to couchsurf in other countries such as the Czech Republic, Hungary, Croatia, Uruguay, Brazil, and Japan. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE In Anaheim, CA, I hosted my first guests, two cyclists from Argentina that had been cycling across the Americas. They were really nice, inspiring, and interesting. I also hosted two French travelers, they were really fun, and I gave them a tour around Los Angeles and Orange County. I've hosted several Singaporeans in my house, they're really cool people, and a Germany guy who I've seen recently during my travels in Germany. In Istanbul, I hosted a Polish Erasmus student for a week while he looked for a home. It was a nice experience to help and show him a bit around the city even though I was also fairly new.

My favourite movies are A Separation, And Then We Danced, Holy Spider, Frida, 10 things I hate about you, Amelie, Capernaum, Anastasia, etc. As for my favourite books, I guess King Leopold's Ghost and Sapiens, to name a few. I love all kinds of music, but I prefer instrumental, lounge, lo-fi, ambient, and house music.
