Hello, I am Hasna Dilara from Turkey, Currently, I live in Bilbao as an Erasmus student. Before my Erasmus experience, I was living in Istanbul which is the one of most beautiful city in the world.

I am a journalism student and I love filming documentaries. I am also interested in making short films and writing scripts.

I love reading, especially children's books.
I love eating but unfortunately, i am not good at cooking.

I love solo traveling.
I have done my first solo traveling to the USA when I was 19 and I had lotta experiences then I kept traveling alone in Turkey.
Solo traveling also gives you more opportunity to meet new people.

Now I am getting ready for the Spain tour in April and Europe tour in July!

I love discovering cities and also discovering people. I want to learn different cultures and having more experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Collecting friends is more important than collecting money and collecting friends from all around the world is always best so, I love to meet new people and having fun with them. I think the best part of traveling is gaining new friends.

Teach, Learn, Share

My teaching abilities are nonfunctional but I can teach how to laugh all day and be positive every time and i am not assertive but I can teach you Turkish or English.

I am not a good teacher but I learn quickly. I am currently learning Spanish I would love to make practice with you if you can speak Spanish.
And I am interested in different dances.

I can share my dreams about future and I love talking. (I am a little bit talkative) And I would love to share my happiness with you.
Because,
Happiness is only real when you shared!
