I'm a quiet person, who likes to listen. I see the life as a story and we weave it through the stories of others. That's why I like to hear the experiences of different people. I used to work as a freelance translator in Istanbul but I moved to Hangzhou recently. So, I'm discovering Chinese culture and language now. It's up to my mood that sometimes I enjoy the tranquility indoors or out in nature and sometimes I love to hang around with people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was more interested in volunteering before and now I am new here but for me, travelling is not all about a vacation that you plan and pay for months ago. While travelling, I want to have a look at the stories of others, the way they live. I want to see that an exchange of kindness, generosity, and hospitality is still more valuable than money.

Music, Movies, and Books

I cannot list all of them :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moved to China with a small luggage! (With little money, no friends, no Chinese...)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some nice expressions in my native language. I can show how to cook some traditional food. I like exchanging writing ideas. I'd like to learn more about different cuisines, more about sculpture, painting. I'm open to almost anything new :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share simply anything that I have with me :) I can cook, I can help anything in the house. I'd like to exchange experiences, ideas about writing, art, lifestyle etc.
