About Me

Hi, everyone.
I'm a Mediterranean who loves everything about art and traveling

Currently I'm living in İstanbul and I'm studying Psychology/Media and Visual Arts. Like before I said I like everything about art, architecture, design, photography and cinema. Also I'm trying to be a psychologist, an academician who try to understand our relation with art and aesthetic.

But like everyone, I am not sure to do what I want to do. Sometimes I am a curator at a gallery, and sometimes a cinematographer at an arthouse movie set. I 'm into getting knowledge about everything and meeting new friends and sharing with them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and discover the 'local' with them. And I want to met with my new friends that I haven't met yet.

I love to discover cities, not like a tourist but a explorer. I want to learn the local life with the locals and understand the culture.

Generally Indie, Classical and Jazz, but I'm very open to taste different genres.

For Film, it is very hard to choose, but more European and Third Wave cinema, less American

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To went one of the village that nobody knows about it, at Eastern Turkey, and trying to share art with primary school kids at there.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some Turkish, and I can listen and share with you/can become your psychologist/friend.

I am open for sharing, that means I am open for every question that you have at your mind.
