Hello!

I am Ece Ergürtuna from Ankara, Turkey. I am studying at Hacettepe University English Language Teaching Department. I am also an Erasmus student in Poland, Slupsk.

Travelling has been a great passion to me for years. Discovering new places, meeting with people, and-sometimes even getting lost in the streets charms me! I am here for not only to find a host, but also meet with foreign people and know their cultures. And-to share my culture and traditions as well! ;)

Take care!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling is not just a hobby, it's a life style for me. Visiting other countries and meeting with new people has been my biggest dream, so I decided to take a look at this website immediately. I think staying at a hotel is a good choice, but you can't find friendship and sincerity there easily. ;)

Interests

Arts is a passion for me. I have been playing the violin, drawing pictures and write short pieces since my childhood. I'm also interested in architecture and historical buildings.

As for sports, swimming and ice-skating are my favorites. Besides, I do bellydance in my leisure time. I try to improve myself as much as possible.

I am also a great Nintendo fan! But I love other consoles and computer games as well. If I am free, I can play games for hours :)

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite type of music is classical music. But I also like symphonic metal, punk music and movie soundtracks.

I love the classics very much, especially French and Russian classics. My favorite novels are Notre-Dame de Paris, Crime and Punishment and Anna Karenina.

I generally prefer epic fantasy, historical and science-fiction movies. Lord of the Rings, Inception and Cloud Atlas are my favorite.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I participated in caving club two years ago although I have clostrophobia! It is the craziest thing I have ever done :D

Teach, Learn, Share

I am an English Language Teacher, but I love teaching my mother tongue to foreigners. I can also teach playing the violin to everyone.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my friendship, sincerity and -if they want, my culture! I can also teach them to speak Turkish. :)
