Hello, I will be completing my Master of Science in Engineering in December 2016! I was raised in Istanbul, Turkey and have been in the USA for the past 6 years. I love traveling, experiencing new cultures, and seeing new places. I try to go on hikes and food excursions on my free time. I definitely have a sweet tooth!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will be traveling in Europe to see the Northern Lights before starting full-time employment in WA, USA. I am couchsurfing to allow me to spend ~3 weeks in Europe without going over my intended budget.

Music, Movies, and Books

I mostly listen to a combination of pop, dance and electronic music. Anything with a good beat to keep me going! I love movies with a twist. The Shawshank Redemption is at the top of the list!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was the team leader of a team that designed, analyzed, built and tested a 3 kg unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for a sense-and-avoid mission in 12 weeks! This was our senior design project ad we were to only team in our class to fly.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am an engineer by training, and love talking about airplanes and rockets! I would be more than happy to discuss space exploration, cool airplanes, or simply talk to you in English to improve your skills! I've also been to 43 of the 50 states in the US. If you are planning an USA trip, I've got a lot to share!
