Hey Cheerful Soul!

I am currently an student in Ankara, Turkey trying to see as much of the world as possible.

I was an Erasmus student in Prague

I am a flexible, friendly person. I wouldn't mind sleeping on the floor, or in a King sized bed.
The last thing I want is to bother my host and my roommates.

I love running, orienteering and adventure racing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couch surfing is the best opportunity to meet people you might never get the chance to meet, explore new cultures and learn amazing things!

Also, I would rather spent the money on cooking with my host rather than spending it on accommodation.

Interests

Anything that keeps me active!

I have been doing Adventure Racing for 4 years now and it has become a huge part of my life.

I also enjoy reading with maybe a hot chocolate on the side :)

Lastly, I love cooking and learning new recipes from all over the world!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I participate in a 2 day Mountain Marathon covering 60-80Km on foot. We carry all of our equipment, including tent and sleeping bags.

It allows us (two person teams) to discover our limits,and explore the never touched forests in the wild.
