I'm a language teacher, variety lover, keen traveler, nature admirer, arts&crafts fan, novelty seeker... and a nostalgic soul who sometimes gets sad about not being able to be in all places at the same time! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea of travelling and getting in touch with local people at the same time!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

*Cameroonian party in Saint Etienne and dancing to What I'd say! :) I love Ray Charles and often regretted being born too late to be at one of his famous concerts, feel the place vibrate with his music, dance among the crowd... And then, in 2011 I went to a party in Saint Etienne where an amazing live band played his songs and a little bit of my dream came true! :)
*Mevlana festival and whirling dervishes - I had my friend's press pass and sat incredibly close to the stage (basically on the stage). I was thrilled to watch the dervishes from so close, their expressions and movements of their feet and hands, it was beautiful!
*Hitchhiking around the Black Sea region with my (now) boyfriend! Feeling of freedom standing by the long highways, hands clutching when driving down the serpentine roads at the coast, danger and luck, the most interesting encounters with local people, fried fish and rusted houses lit up by the sunset, smell of salt and amazing stories about the sea and the lot it takes from those who fall get too close... :)
*Having a (very) small role in a Turkish-French online series, every minute of it was new for me!!
