CURRENT MISSION

Meeting new people and making friends all over the world. Unfortunately, I can't host anybody right now.

ABOUT ME

I'm living and working in Istanbul. I've been always loving to travel and I chose a job that I can fulfill my hunger about it. I worked on a documentary channel for two years and I traveled nearly all over my country and some other countries thanks to my job. From now on I'm trying to take it to the next level and travel fulltime, to become a world citizen. I'm also very good at finding backstreet culinary stuff and hidden gems, but I will forever be grateful if you show me some :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hostels are good, but the locals are better :) I think it's the best way to experience the whole culture and to show your own culture as well. Plus, I love the idea of having a friend from every country that I visited and share our points of view about history, art and so on.

Interests

I'm very interested in ancient cultures and the things that they left us. I always wonder how did people live at those times and try to imagine their life.
