Hey, I'm Bengi.

I traveled part of Asia between 2016 to 2019 with my backpack. After traveling many things changed in my life cause my mind expanded a lot. With this expansion, when I back to my homeland, I decided to change my job, that the job I cannot get out of my mind. So, I went a culinary school. After I came back Turkey, I started to welcome people from couchsurfing, it was so fun to chat with people who share similar vision of the life. Especially, if you're food lover like me it's so exciting to share new ideas as well. I was traveling and working in New Zealand for 10 months, nowadays I'm back to Southeast Asia.

I really like any outdoor activities and always keen for some adventures ! I love hiking, yoga, traveling of course, and interesting to learn about other's passion.

PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While I travel solo, I would like to meet at least one surfer in every city. I have been trying to help the surfers that I meet in Turkey. It feels good knowing that there're some others who share similar passions with me.
