ABOUT ME

Well.. I have been living in İstanbul since 2001 and I adore this city. I am interested in alternative medicine such as energy healing, meditations and such Indian/Japanese cultures. I also like tasting different cuisines; Indian, Italian, Spanish, especially sea food and of course Turkish cuisine are my favourites.. And let's keep Mexican in mind :) I certainly love travelling and believe in cultural diversity. If needed I can call myself as friendly, easy-going and calm.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love cultural diversity. CS is the best place to make connections from all over the world. Also I love İstanbul so much and being a guide to people who visits the beloved city is awsome.
