Hey!!! It's Didem, i am kinda new in İstanbul, i can define myself as a explorer.

I am working in refugee field i can say that i am a LTGTİ+ activist, social worker and a proud feminist. So am basically social person who spend almost all the time in meeting or events with people from different groups.

I am also an adventurer, i think i know how i can be fun, when i should be chill or careful. I am introvert and extravert at the same time but i can make people feel comfortable with being themselves. I have made a peace myself long time ago.

I literally love reading and also partying :) Discussing about politic issues, then debating about any kind of riddiculous topic. I love dance, walking around, exploring good music an i cry when i see a really good piece of art.

I am obsessed with glittery materials, i love bubbles.

You can make me happy with a little piece of food, with a song, with a silly joke and colourful clothes.

I can be the best companian for you. I love askıng&answering questions. I am very shy about my weırd voice. I have ADHD so i can talk about irrelevent topics and be excited for everything. I am always confused but i belive that in a cute way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am working with International Volunteers at my organization i am kinda used to communicate people from everywhere. I believe if you want to see somewhere and get to know their people or culture, you definetaly spend time with locals! and they always know where is the best for food or fun!

In this vacation, i am going to Barcelona for business meeting so it will be very very boring for me. I would be fucking super happy if i wiould spend my last day with a local who can chill and hang out with me. I am also open for any kind of meeting or even invitation. :)

Interests

I love books but i diďn't learn to life from books, i learnt a lof of thing from people. But books and experiences are equal for me.
And i am a good observer. I like watching everything, movies, tv series, people, streets... and create bullshit about that :)
Also i like to try different foods, i am bloody hog!
Sometimes i like be calm but sometimes i am a party animal. I never know when i want to be drunk :) soo everytime i have to try my best!

But about Tv series, i am an animal! I watched everythin before but i am not good at this anymore, especially when i started to work social area.

Actually, when i feel depressed, i watch that reality shows, but it is a secret :)

I was very maintstream with the music buy i think i've been improving for lasf few years about my taste of music, so i bet i have really good things that i can show you.
