Hello my name is Ekin. I'm studying Industrial Engineering & Business Administration in Istanbul,Turkey. Unfortunately, I'm staying in dormitory so I can't host anyone since I don't have a house of my own (actually I have but it's in a small town of Turkey and I don't think that you're going to visit there since it's really boring).

My biggest dream is travel everywhere in the world -I know it's so cliche but I can't help it- well so I'm here.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel, I am a student and my budget is limited. So I want to find a safe and free place from here. Also I think I can meet new people from here and make good friendships.
