Hello, good people of earth I am Elif/Aleph. I am both a wanderer and a nerd. Love to travel and learn, especially about archeology and engineering. I am really fond of people and their stories; and would love to share my own if you wish. I've tried to live in the West for a good amount years, but my heart beats for the East and its enchanting ancient stories. Courage never quits calling me to take more adventures and get to know new people.

P.s. Let me know if you want to drink a cup of Turkish coffee and become my friend for the next 40 years (drinking a cup of Turkish coffee means promising for (at least) 40 years of friendship. Hard core Turkish customs ️).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've seen goodness of people a lot during my trips and couchsurfing sounds like a magical kingdom of these good people.
