FREE PALESTINE!

Hi there! I've recently moved back to my hometown in Turkey from Germany to relax and write my master's thesis. I'm so eager to learn about different cultures and I'm really into music (especially ethnic music and jazz, I am willing to hear some suggestions from y'all)

My mission is to be the reason for a smile on people's faces. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Due to the fact that I realized that almost all of my good friends are foreigners, I decided to create an international circle in my life by using this amazing website in order to be able to meet up new friends and learn more about this magnificent planet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I volunteered to teach Turkish to Syrian kids and I worked as a clown in a hospital that works for treating children with leukaemia in İstanbul and met the best souls who have experienced many difficulties in their short lives. I will always remember their laughter and the unconditional love that I received from them.

Teach, Learn, Share

As it's my job, I can teach conversational English to you. I also spent 8 years of my life working for a theatre company in İstanbul and sang in a pub for 4 years. I can teach you some tips on how to sing and act. :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Personally, I haven't travelled a lot till now as I was always busy with my studies, however, I enjoy listening to music from different countries. I can share some of my playlists in addition to my experiences in Turkey, China, Cyprus and nowadays I am discovering Germany.
