I hate injustice, dislike materialism, and love nonjudgemental people.

I'm a sociology student from Turkey. I'm also a scuba diving instructor and a massage therapist .

I live with my boyfriend and dog in Izmir. He is an English teacher and my dog is a rascal.

I like outdoor sports, sightseeing, and yoga. I'm generally positive and good humored.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a bit of a socialist, so I like the idea of sharing things. I also like talking to new people and getting away from the mundane tourist traps which locals generally know how to avoid.

Interests

Scuba diving , all kinds of ourdoor sports,and of course traveling. I just started knitting :) I love foreign movies, rock music, and cooking.
I'm interested in religion, but am not religious. I'm interested in true love, but am not overly romantic. I'm allergic to shopping malls and rude people.
