I'm a 26-year-old working as an administrator at university after recent graduation from Master's in International Relations. I'm from Istanbul, Turkey and I currently live in Nottingham, UK. I have done an internship in India and an Erasmus exchanges in the UK and Poland which all inspired me to travel more. I have also travelled in South America (Argentina, Chile and Uruguay) for 2 months and 10 days and couchsurfed in almost all the places.

I can be a bit shy at first but then I'll open up :) Also I speak Turkish, English and Spanish (though my Spanish needs more practice). I certainly enjoy learning languages. Also I can say I'm a rather curious person so I often do my research before traveling. I'm a huge cinephile, I have seen so many films and that's actually how I spent my high school years.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I really like to make friends from all over the world and I believe couchsurfing is the best way to get to know the local culture. Also, of course, it is free :)

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

Some Turkish food and life experiences
I speak English fluently and I can help you with that.

I cannot host at the moment since I live in a shared accommodation in Nottingham. However, I have hosted many former hosts in my parents' home in Istanbul and I have met up with many of them again in different locations as well!
