Hello people! My name is Irem.
I love exploring the world and meeting new people, spending time with locals. That is why I am couchsurfing since the age of 18!

I met great travelers on this platform who inspired me and accompanied my vacations. Therefore, instead of going hotels, I simply look for hosts and welcome people at my home whenever I can.

I am the co-founder of 350 Sicilia, an NGO based in Catania. We campaign for climate change and environmental sustainability ☀️🌿💪🏼🌍🇮🇹

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like authentic people and corners ❤️⭐️🦋✌🏼🙏🏼🎨🌍
