I am a flight attendant from Istanbul. I love the fact that I can travel the world for a job. My house is very close to the famous Taksim Square, and to the metro and metrobus stations, it takes a 3-minute walk to the stations. It's got 2 bedrooms, so one could have a private bedroom. I enjoy tasting local foods, so if one would like to make use of the kitchen and cook something traditional, I might steal a bite :)
PS: please don’t send me a friend request. I don’t add people unless I’ve met them in person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I don't like the types of holidays of the sun, the sea, the beach and cocktails all day. I love cultural travels and experience local things. But it is near impossible to experience local things without the aid of locals. From a traditional food, to a cafe/bar, from a local show to learning some phrases, many things off the beaten track can be experienced by the help of local friends.

Interests

I'm very much into science, philosophy and linguistics. I love learning about the history, traditions, languages and religions of other cultures. I like looking after my mind and body, so I try to eat healthily and hit the gym 3 times a week. I am fond of arts and photography. I have a YouTube page if you'd like to have a look at:

When it comes to music, I like all kinds of music except for pure Jazz. I prefer Remix pop and electronic music to dance to. I love trance parties in the nature. And I also quite like symphonic metal :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's so difficult to choose just one :(
Well, I'm Turkish but I joined the Thai military for 4 days when I was 21. That was quite an adventure :)
