Overview
About Me
I am a Turkish-Canadian dual citizen who grew up in Istanbul and moved to Montreal , then to Calgary and now I live in Toronto.
I love traveling ,having new adventures & experiences, meeting new people at any age , learning new things about other cultures and listening to stories of strangers...
You can find me in the busiest corner of Times Square watching the city lights or in the middle of Great Slave Lake in Yellowknife watching northern lights :)) I often start planning a 1-2 stop vacation in Europe and end up visiting 6-7 countries in less than 10 days...
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I was a bit hesitant at first and sticking with Airbnb but my friends suggested this after having so much fun and meeting really cool people. So I decided to give it a go !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I have transported a giant helicopter in one of the biggest cargo aircrafts in the world a.k.a. the Antonov and I flew with them taking off from the coldest city on earth that day ( -55C ) , the Russian crew said I was the first female joined them in a flight before so it was kind of cool :)
Another one , because its hard to chose...
I once joined a 180km bike tour to support my professional biker friends in a fund-raiser event without having any proper training or intention to ride more than a few kms.......I ended up finishing the whole thing :)))
They named me 'tail-end-Charlie' ( that was the radio code of one of the support vehicles followed riders , well the one at the end...) as I finished it last.
