Hi everyone,
I'm Myriam, and with my husband Kerem (Kerem Kabil on CS), we're back after a few years and would be thrilled to host and meet people in the beautiful city of Marseille !

When I created this account many years ago, it was to meet people from different cultures, as a host and as a guest. And I did make amazing friendships!
Little did I know, CS would also allow me to find love in Turkey, and here we are, more than 3 years later, living in France and hosting together!

About me personally :
I'm a GP and I mostly work in a psychiatric hospital.
As much as I love my job, I'm all about the time outside of work and I'm always trying to find the right balance.
When I have the chance, I like to get out of my comfort zone, away from the everyday comfort.
That's why I specially love hiking for weeks with the bare minimum, experiencing pure happiness in the nature. Simple feels so good.
I also love to deep dive in the language and habits of different cultures when I'm traveling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people, exchanging makes me feel richer, I believe we all have something to learn from each other.
CS is a good way to remember that the world is a big place with so many various and wonderful persons, every one in their own different way.
I aways loved hosting people and giving a homey feeling to my guests.
For me travelling is not about visiting places, it's about people, it's about embracing other cultures and opening to new horizons.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is there every day of my life, all types are good to my ears.
I like to read all kinds of books too, mostly novels. I am a huge fan of life stories which make my imagination travel far, far away.
It is the same with movies, the further the better. I like to step an imaginary foot in countries I barely know a thing about.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walked alone the length of New Zealand, 3000 kilometres, and the length of Jordan.
Stayed completely silent for 10 days in a Vipassana center (huge achievement for me, ask my friends).
Moved to a foreign country for love.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some french/turkish/foreign recipes, as cooking is one of my favorite hobbies.
I am eager to hear and learn other languages and I love to listen to people's stories. I might even say that I just like to learn, to my eyes every piece of life or knowledge is a great gift.
At home I'll share my time and knowledge of my beloved city, as I've been living in Marseille for 14 years.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm always ready to share laugh, food, drinks, thoughts !
