Overview
About Me
I'm a 6th year med student, currently in Ankara. I love the variability of cultures, food, streets, personalities, opinions and perspectives in the whole world. Meeting people and sharing all of these with them is what I like the most about traveling.
For me, every living thing deserves to be loved. I think I get along with animals and children well, and I have been living with a cat for 7 years.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To learn, share and have fun while accompanying people from all around the world.
Interests
I have been painting for 6 years and I feel like the only time I can actually, totally express myself is when I paint/draw. I love using watercolour because the paint shows what is under. But I also have some works I made using oil colour, acrylic and chorcoal. I prefer making portraits and nu paintings, because natur-morte and landscape doesn't excite me that much.
I also had part in four different installation exhibitions with our visual-arts group at my university. Installation art is a free way to express oneself -or anything. No material limitations, no borders, no censorship... you can't sell or buy an installation art work, it doesn't have to be "beautiful". That's what I like about it.
