About Me

Love travelling and exploring new places and emotions. Although I get a little anxious when it's not well planned, but I guess we've all been there. Currently I'm a master's student in an Italian university. Foreign languages and cultures have always been my biggest passion, so I found a way to connect with people from around the world by studying abroad, and ofc thanks to the Internet. I was an exchange student in Turkey and Poland, and now I'm a full-time student at an Italian university as I mentioned above.
I'm an ENFP from MBTI test which means I'm an outgoing type, though I can be quite shy with strangers despite being quite an extrovert. But those are just labels in the end :D However, I feel like myself the most when I'm around other people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I always was curios about travelling and meeting new people. Though, it wasn't easy for me since I was staying at my hometown all the time without any chance to travel. + despite I was enthusiastic about going abroad, I was a bit scared to leave my comfort zone, to which I really get used. However, I remember the day I became an exchange student as it was yesterday and still those good all days of socialising everyday, exploring new places and having invaluable cultural experience!
Sometimes you don't need to live in the same city with your friend, or speak each other's native languages. Following this idea I hope to see a lot of interesting people outside and get to know them.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to many kinds of music genres: from classical to rock/pop and indie music. Chopin is my favourite classical music composer, and recently I became fond of some indie artists.

When it comes to books I prefer real life stories, and it is better if it's a short story rather than a long endless journey. Like Haruki Murakami's short stories. I like the stylistic choices he makes, especially how he describes the POV of his characters. There's something mesmerising about the way he writes.

About movies: I love good comedy of 2000s. Marvel movies lover. My guilty pleasure is to hate watch cringey teen or YA Netflix series ahah.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Flipped a crepe on a hot pan using only hands, no tools XD Small thing, but it makes me proud of myself, since the only person who can do the same thing is my lovely mom!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can recommend some places to visit in Turkey, Poland and Kazakhstan, of course according to only my experience. Hope my tips will be helpful to someone :)

What I Can Share with Hosts
