WHO AM I?

Hey! I'm Esma from Turkey.
I quit my job as a manager in February 2022 and started to follow my dreams. For this, first of all, I turned my drawing talent, which I have been doing as a hobby for years, into a passion that I can do while traveling by taking a certified tattoo training. After completing my training, I started my world tour in June 2022. Since then, I have had the opportunity to visit a few of the Balkan countries. In this process, I stay in my tent for accommodation and volunteer in hostels. I am lucky that I can continue to improve my English thanks to the communication I establish with people in hostels.

WHAT DO I DO FOR A LIVING?

I sell my 100% handmade necklaces and bracelets that I designed myself on the streets. I'm volunteering in hostels for free accomodation. I almost forgot to tell you I'm tattoo artist! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am here to meet people from different cultures in the countries I visit, to stay in constant contact with them, and in addition to the belief that there are great experiences we can add to each other with these people.
