MISSION:

Get to know as many people as possible and leave them with something to smile about me. Simply chill! :)

ABOUT ME:

I'm a Consultant at IBM at the moment and I've been working there since 2014.

I try to travel and experience the real culture of the place I visit. I try to be more than a tourist :)
That's why I spent a year in Cape Town, South Africa as a volunteer in a HIV Clinic back in 2012. It was intense, but very fulfilling at the same time. I can easily say it was the time of my life, a time that I still talk about. I met great people from all around world and I still keep in touch with them. I grew up a lot, which urged me to join and becoma a part of the CS experience.

I also spent 7 months in Lille, France as an Erasmus student, which again was a great international experience.

About my social life, I love going out with friend 2-3 times a week and love to explore new hot spots in town. (yes Istanbul is so huge that there is still lot to discover even for a local!)
I workout regulary (5-6 times a week), so if you like jogging we can benefit from the location of my house and go out for a morning jog :)

I also try to eat clean, do not smoke. Although I do not consume sweets, or anything with sugar, there is always sweet stuff at my place. So no worries :)

I am a wine lover, so if you are one too, would not mind a bottle of wine to share. I have a decent collection from the places I visited as well (Cape Town, France, Italy, Spain) so would love to take it with me to my hosts. It is always warmer with a glass or two ;)

PERSONAL MOTTO:

Always look on the bright side, it will make you and others around you shine as well :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet new people, experience their culture through their eyes.
Above all, it is all about exploring different lives, different people and feeling what a tiny piece on earth we are!

After my experiences in Cape Town and Lille, I was late to join to CS!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I skydived in Cape Town, South Africa. Freefall for 40 secs was breathtaking!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am into universal energy, that's why I started Reiki and now I am almost Level 2.
I strongly believe in the energy that people have and I would love to discuss any ideas on that! :)

I am also a Yoga beginner, if you are a master would love to learn one or two things from you :)
