I am Esranur and I am architecture student. I was born in Turkey and I traveled to Greece (2 times with my bicycle and 1 time with bus) , Roma, Berlin , Paris , Strasbourg ,Stuttgart and Venice. I lived in Alghero,Sardegna (Italy) for Erasmus+ for 6 months. I studied at Sassari University. I am crazy about cycling! The most pleasure thing in my life is riding my bike on riverside& seaside then sitting on the beach&forest and watching the sunset. I like discovering new places and make sketches of them. I want to explore some architectural aspects and use them in my architectural projects during my education and after graduation. I love meeting with new people and communicate with them on their native languages.

I love reading books and watching movies which reminds me the people i appreciated in my past. And I love inspirational books&movies (they're generally biographies) which makes me me feel to do something good and new for the future.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing that I've done in my life is organizing 'Fancy Women Bike Ride' in my city when I was 17 years old. I joined cycling groups when i was 12 and i realised that women don't join the tours generally. I want to encourage women for cycling in Turkey and i discovered this way with colorful and enjoyful tour. I am organizing this tour in my city (Edirne) for 4 years. During these 4 years, i met with a lot of women who want to ride bicycle but have no courage to do this alone. By this way, they gain courage with the other women who come to this tour.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning new languages with native speakers! I feel so amazing while i am trying to explain my ideas and feelings to them truly in their languages. Thus, we can communicate exactly the way we want to be understood clearly.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my room, my home and my breakfast&dinner with hosts but the most importantly i can share my joy with my hosts! :) And of course the tranquality of watching the sunsets!
