About Me

Heyyo!

I am a discoverer and a seeker who is addicted to travelling and meeting with new people, curious about new culture and anything I haven't learn, seen, and heard yet. As a double degree master degree student I both lived in Lisbon and Ljubljana, but currently settled in Lisbon, Portugal and studying information systems management. Originally from Mersin, a sunny and hot city in south of Turkey, lived in İstanbul for 5 years, which is still an incredibly fascinating city for me eventhough I have travelled and seen a lot. I love both winter and summer and you can call me a true mediterranean, loving greens and vegetables.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love discovering and meeting other people. I find this interesting and attractive too much! I wonder how they live their life and their interests. I am open and curious to talk everything with every person I meet. I would like to widen my vision more and see everything from different point of views.

Interests

Discovering and trying something new, it can be anything! I am young and know there are lots of things waiting to be discovered. My other interests are travelling, watching films, swimming, running, doing pilates, tasty wine, listening music depending on my mood, and chilling in a natural environment.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Absolutely volunteering! As a volunteer in YGA, which is a NGO in Turkey. Young Guru Academy called extraordinary leadership school, we were studying in field, to get characteristics of leadership. I was one of the volunteers helping young students who they can not have good opportunities about education, discovering them while they discover themselves, as we discover and improve ourselves.
