Greetings from planet earth :)
My name is Esra. I was born in Turkey in a really small village by Blacksea but I feel that I am belong to everywhere on this planet and I have just started to visit my home. :) That's why I don't have much references and friends here. Yet :) However I am willing to have all of them and have great experiences and I am sure I will, with your help.

I am a person who likes to meet new people, make friends and listen their stories, life experiences and share mines and have new ones. I believe this is one of the best ways to improve myself.
I don't believe in borders. For me the only borders we have which created with our minds. (I don't remember but I've heard this sentence from somewhere and it just explains how I feel) We are living in a crazy world today but if you are reading this right now I believe you feel the same as I do even if it is a tiny.

I don't know what can I say more about me:) I am studying Industrial Design and I am 23 years old right now and still discovering myself :)

I don't have very good memory so I always try to keep my memories by writing down or making videos and photos or collecting some small souvenirs as a reminder. Some people could see some of them like trash but I see all of those treasures as my life savings :) So anything from you that will remind me of you is okay if you want :)
To sum up that is a part of me. I can continue to writing but I prefer to talk while we are drinking your local tea, coffee or beer :)

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

I have just started to traveling and I want to have my traveling experiences in best way. I prefer to learn things about the places I traveled from who knows them by living, instead of reading on the internet or tourist info papers. They have tips for tourists, I want secrets.

Интересы

I like photography a lot. I am an amateur photographer like everyone who has a phone with camera :) okay maybe I am a little more than that :) I am interested in taking photos for almost 8 years. I really enjoy to take photos, make some little arrangements and share with other people on online or personally.
If you want you can check my instagram account I only share photos I took

Every time learning a new detail about photography makes me happy and more excited about it. If you have some good tricks to teach me I am here for it and also we can go and make photos together :)
I play ukulele for fun. I am not good at playing it and I am not a singer at all but I really enjoy to play with my ukulele, make some noises and disturb my neighbors :D but still if you want to hear some I don't think it is not going to be fun either :)

Музыка, кино и книги

I like to listen every kind of good music made from heart and also to discover new ones. I believe music is a part of our souls and every soul is unique ;)
I like watching movies and tv series. Pulp Fiction is my favourite movie I don't know how many times I have seen it and any other Tarantino's movies I enjoy to watch (who doesn't :D ) and I also like The Fall from Tarsem Singh. Amazing cinematography and script I have ever seen. and I am a secret fan of Wes Anderson (yes pop culture caught me well)
My favourite movie list can go so long and I really enjoy to see them again and again :D
I really like to watch movies and tv series which have good cinematography. Also I am open to watch any suggestions from you.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

I can't say it is something huge nowadays but for me leaving my comfort zone and going to erasmus to Poland for a year. That improved me a lot and brought me new perspectives and it still continues.
And during that time of my life, once after I read on the internet if you lost your hope about humanity and trusting to people go hitchhiking. Before that I always saying I can't hitchhike and then I hitchhiked in Germany, alone, for a week :D

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией
