Hi, guys!
My name is Beyza and I am 20 years old. I am studying English Language and Literature at Hacettepe University, Ankara, Turkey. Since I am an ELL student, I really love spending my time with learning new languages and discovering new expressions of different cultures. It seems very intriguing for me to think that we live in a beautiful diversity. I just want to explore them I much as I could. I am also very interested in drama and cinema. Actually, we have a small group of amateur actors in my home university, having a play every year. I also love taking analogue pictures because I catch them in such a colorful way without exposing any filters. Film is not dead!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am an Erasmus student who will live in Murcia, Spain for the whole 2017/2018 academic year. Since I have never had the chance of living and travelling abroad, I believe that this will be an incredible experience for me, and I want to travel and discover new worlds with new people as much as I could in my free time. I want to share my culture with the people I met in these worlds and I want to learn about theirs. That's why I think that Couchsurfing is an awesome opportunity to realize that.
