I'm working full-time but I'm trying to make some free time for taking people around in Istanbul. Don't hesitate to ask, I try my best to spare some time for the community.

I like wandering / exploring nature.
I enjoy walks in the city aswell. I like calmness and chill. Tea is my boost.
You can talk to me on many things; science, art, nature, customs, religion, philosophy, politics, movies, music...Small talk is fine, but I enjoy deep conversations more.

I'm not accepting friend requests, if we haven't met in person.
If you're looking for a hook-up, go try dating apps.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I met great people here, on events, groups, on hangout etc. I really like how cs contributes to my life. Plus on the travelling side, I don't get the chance to travel so often but when I do, I really appreciate spending quality time with locals. It doesn't feel right when a vacation is only about seeing around. I care about being an experience to other people. Sharing food, having a cup of tea and having warm chat is what makes a trip valuable. And couchsurfing is a great place to share this and find people who cares about it.

Interests

Nature captures me easily. I am an arts and crafts person. I always carry my pen to sketch things. I love listening about local cultures, see and even practice some. :)
Even though my way of cooking is really improvisational, I am a good cook.
I like taking pictures of landscapes and daily life of people.
