Hello dear travelers,

I'm a university student studying political science and human rights at the Case Western Reserve University. My current mission is to finish my undergraduate studies, pursue a Master of Laws, and visit as many places in the world as possible.

Traveling is my biggest passion, and I try to make it my lifestyle as much as I can. I love exploring new places, visiting museums, learning about new cultures, hiking, quality conversations about philosophy and politics and tasting different kinds coffee around the world. When I travel, I always try to learn how to cook a traditional meal. I enjoy art, history, cinema, literature and philosophy.

The world has so much to offer. Every single place I visit fascinates me with its unique beauty and nature. I like seizing the moment, appreciating places I visit and living life to the fullest. My travels have shown me that there is no shortage of kindness, adventure and beauty in the world, and I'm excited to experience it.

I moved to London this year from Cleveland, Ohio. It has a unique spirit to it. I love this city; it's so much fun being here. I know lots of cool places, restaurants, pubs and museums here, and I'd love to show you around.

In the past, I lived in the US, Canada, Turkey, Cyprus, France and Thailand. I'm originally from Cyprus and Turkey but growing up in so many places I feel like I have so many homes, and places where I feel I belong.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's my first time here! I love the idea of couchsurfing because it allows you to meet locals around the world and learn so much about different cultures, ideas and places. Traveling has given me the best experiences of my life and taught me so much about the world. I believe couchsurfing is a unique way of traveling that helps you explore the world while meeting locals and hearing about their stories.
