Hello, I'm Damla Karakolcu. I'm a student at Istanbul University, majoring in Molecular Biology and Genetics. I came to Portugal with Erasmus and my friends and I are aiming to embark on a European trip together. Currently, I am working in a community management consulting role at a company based in the United States. Prior to this, I was involved in student communities at various companies, including Google and Microsoft. I'm a real LinkedIn (www.linkedin.com/in/damlakarakolcu/) and Instagram (www.instagram.com/damlakarakolcu/) enthusiast and have spent days focused on my career, so I'm very excited to take this getaway trip we've organized!

I love dancing and laughing. Sometimes my friends are afraid that my energy will never run out and I'll keep dancing forever :D The most important thing for me is creating beautiful memories and having maximum fun!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

During my Erasmus adventure, I had the opportunity to meet people from various countries, and I realized how beautifully it influenced my life. One day, a friend called me and asked if I wanted to join them for a meetup they found on Couchsurfing. After that meetup, we started meeting with our friends repeatedly, and we created wonderful memories together so I am on Couchsurfing.
