Hey there! My name is Derya and I am Kurdish-German, but I like to say I am a citizen of the world 🌏🌍🌎
I love life, positivity and meeting other positive people. I was doing Couchsurfing a few years ago when I was traveling a lot and gained so many beautiful friendships out of it. Now that I am traveling again, I am back on Couchsurfing: hi!👋.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used to be on Couchsurfing when I travelled more frequently. It was the best way to connect to the locals and get the real scoop, instead of surrounding myself with tourists in touristic places only.
I love making friends, learning about other cultures and share a laugh.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all kinds of music. I had lots of different music phases when I was younger. If you have a favorite song, please share it with me. Music connects deep!

I am in search for good books and movies - any recommendations? My favorite book is Elinor Oliphant is Perfectly Fine.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Kindergarten I won #1 place in a drawing contest…. and I still like to draw and paint. Not in a competition though.

Teach, Learn, Share
