please read the housing situation before you send a request :)

I study Molecular Biology and Genetics with an Archeology minor. I am a part time photographer and I mostly shoot punk or jazz bands. I grew up in a little village on hillside in Urla and now I live in a shared flat in Istanbul (with two great girls and a crazy cat), so I am used to living communally and respecting other's boundaries.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think connecting with locals is the most authentic way to truly understand a place and its culture. I have always had great experiences with people I've met on the road.

My housing situation is a bit tricky at the moment but if you need help with anything else i'd be more than happy to give some recs :)

What I Can Share with Hosts
