About Me

I'm a 26 years old European Volunteer in Tokat, Turkey. I studied Law as my undergraduate, and I have two masters: one in Gender and International Relations and another one in International Development.

I have been volunteering or doing internships in several NGOs around the world working with refugees or women. I would love to know people with similar experiences to share.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm really interested in knowing more about other cultures and languages, and I love hanging out and knowing people from different countries or cities.
