Hello!!!

I'm Funda, welcome to my profile.

I study Translation and Interpreting Studies at Bogazici University.

I can describe myself as an open-minded 22 year old woman who is mainly interested in feminist and queer issues/activism and veganism.

I can cook delicious Mediterranean meals, vegan of course!

We can talk about a lot of stuff from music and books to films and tv shows and our experiences etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people while traveling is a very advantageous thing to do. I would be very glad to hear other people's experiences and stories.

Also, sharing cultures and learning about different customs, food, clothes, etc would be a great help for me to be more cultured.

Interests

*veganism, i am always eager to learn more about veganism and exchange recipes, useful information and such. I am a vegan due to ethical reasons.
*feminism,(and gender issues) i try to read and get educated on feminism and queer theory, change my actions for the benefit of it and try to make people aware about the common things that sexualize or externalize people.
