About Me

I'm 24 years old, I grew up in a seaside town İzmir which is the third biggest city at the western side of Turkey . I like to be independent and free. I have two bachelor degrees; I graduated from Translation and Interpreting (Turkish-English) in 2016 and I graduated from International Relations and European Union in 2017.
I'm Social Erasmus Coordinator of our university's ESN Section and I'm also an active volunteer in several non-profit organizations. I'm planning to resume studying with a master degree on International Migration or Middle Eastern Studies. I was working for Turkish Airlines. Right now, I am working in Athens, Greece.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people is the best way to explore the world!
I cannot host you but if you write me few days before your arrival, (if I am not working in those days) I can show you around the amazing seaside city İzmir.

Interests

European history, philosophy, media and media institutions, world politics...
New cuisines are always welcomed.
Travelling to new countries and to feel free like a bird!

Music, Movies, and Books

It's too hard to give specific genres because I can listen, watch, read any types if I like it (I don't like to restrict myself )

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walking around the deserted villages and imagining people as if they're still there.
Hitchhiking for long distances in Turkey and learning there are still nice people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach tavla (just google it), some general things about Ottoman Empire and Turkish culture.
I'm always open to learn new things!
