CURRENT MISSION

~ planning my trip to Korsika. I m already sooo excited!!

ABOUT ME

I guess you will find out when we meet. But just in short some things about me: I can be crazy in some moments but on the other side I like to talk about serious topics, about life,politics and people. I love to share things that happen in my life. I m a very faithful person and for me friendship is not just a word but I take friendship very serious. Friedship has to be taken care of!

PHILOSOPHY

Our soul is everything we have

"You can't walk straight when the road bends." Romani proverb

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We host people at our place. I also enjoy to show people around the city or to have a coffee in one of my favourite cafes. I Hope when I have a bigger apartment I can host people more frequently. I already met so wonderful people when I stayed at their places and they made my trip even more special and intense.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I think its a great idea to travel and at the same time getting to know local people with whom you can share different experiences , opinions and life styles.

Interests

I love to sit in nice parks, at riversides and have a little picknick. Im a big fan of food and I like different kinds of food ( asian food, italian, arabic..)and also like to cook them by myself.
Im a big fan of "the middle east" ( eventhough I havent been there til yet but I m workin on it ) I m also interested in everthing which is linked to the arabic world like for example the music, bazars, furnitures..and I m very keen on learing something about the Islam, Koran..
at the University I m studying cultural anthropology and Comparative Literature. (I quieted turkish language / culture)
Writting poems and short stories helps me to get a lot of thoughts in a order and reflect about topics which make me sad , are hard to handle or just themes I'm thinking a lot about.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived for one year in Bosnia.
Once I visited my boyfriend (who became my husband) who lives in a little village
which is located up a hill and in general in a very hilly region.
One day I didnt have much to do and so I decided to talk a walk to the top of the hill. I sat there enjoying the incredible view. It was a wonderful moment: I sat alone there, looking down to the small villages and houses, and up to the other green hills that surrouned me when suddenly the muezzin begun to "sing" the ezan.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love cooking although I m doing that most of the time without recipe so if you like some experimentation..don't hesitate. I would like to learn playing the guitar. I already own a guitar but til yet didnt learn it ..so if there is anyone out there who is willed to give me some lessons :)
I can teach you to prepare bosnian coffee. (really , really delicious!) I also can teach you some bosnian!
