CURRENT MISSION

"why not?!"

ABOUT ME

I am from Black Sea region (north east) of Turkey. I lived in Brighton (UK) for almost 6 years to do PhD in Sociology. I attended Erasmus program in 2008 and lived in Groningen, in the Netherlands for 6 months. I also lived in Japan in 2015 for my fieldwork.

I am married to an Italian. We are easy going, clean, respectful and open minded people :) we love cycling, travelling and trekking!

We just recently moved back to Ankara and are planning to stay here couple of years.

PHILOSOPHY

"why not?!" I think there is nothing impossible in the universe, it just related about how much we want something. As long as you have opportunities, you can do anything you want!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As I mentioned above, I lived in the Netherlands in 2008 and during this exchange program, I travelled many places. I participated CS in the Netherlands due to my vacations.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had my first couch in 2007:) It was such a joy and since then I had guested people mainly in Ankara. I could not host people during my stay in Brighton because of tenancy reasons.

However, as I am back to Ankara, time to time, we could host people up to 2 days.

We have three cats! If you don't like animals, don't bother writing to me, please!

Interests

I enjoy hanging out with my friends as they are my family!

Besides, I like travelling, and I think it makes me free. I enjoy meeting new people, new cultures, different ideas! Even just listening different people makes me so excited. But, I admit sometimes I talk so much as well as my husband :))

I like every kind of sports but especially swimming. I am a scuba diver and life guard.
