Hi, my name is Fatma. I am a teacher who is passionate about life and so curious to know other cultures, new places, new people. I'd describe myself as a caring, friendly and curious person.
I enjoy being physically active. I am into doing yoga, going hiking, playing tennis, playing volleyball...Too many to count :) Also, I can define myself as a real nature lover. Spending time in nature helps me to find my inner peace.
One of my other passion is traveling. I mostly believe that each mind is a new world to go. When focusing on this philosophy of mine, travelling is like a homeland for me. Since I believe that the more you get to know people , the more you take a different approach to life. That motivates me to leave my comfort zone and let new adventures begin. During my travels, I hope to experience situations that allow me to expand as a being, as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the sound of making new friends from different countries and connecting with travellers. Besides I love to inspire and be inspired by nice people in Couchsurfing.

Music, Movies, and Books

-My music taste depends on the state of my mind but if specializing is needed, I can say that I like baroque, dream pop, rhythm-blues and indie rock music.
-There are many inspirational movies that I can count. One of them is Dead Poets Society.
- As the best source of learning, I always try to use books as a guide for my life. Mutant Message Down Under by Marlo Morgan is one of my favourite since my childhood.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Working as a counselor at a summer camp in USA. This experience has given me an amazing opportunity to have connections with the kids and the nature.

Teach, Learn, Share

For teaching; I can teach languages that I speak. I can practice some basic yoga postures with you,as well:),
For learning; I am so open to learning and trying new things. I can't wait to do it with a new friend.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Sharing the facts about my home country has been always exciting for me. I have a great enthusiasm to introduce them.
Of course, I would also like to cook Turkish food for my hosts!
( Many of my friends call me as a therapist. I believe I can be a good listener for my hosts, as well:)
