I'm a Turkish graduate student who lives in Istanbul.

I'm currently doing PhD in History where I also teach History courses of undergraduate and graduate students. I did my first Master's in Visual Anthropology at University of Oxford, and second master's in Economics at Sabanci University. I am also a professional Astrologer who gives Astrological Counseling. I love doing sports, I go to gym, swim or run when I have free time. I will happy to run with couchsurfers in my city and in other cities of the world too!

I will be very glad to host different couchsurfers from different cultures and make lifelong friends.
