My hometowns are New York and Istanbul but have lived and worked in many countries throughout Europe and Asia as well as Africa and South America. I love meeting people from different countries and cultures. I understand what it is like to arrive in a foreign place and what would make the experience as pleasant and hassle-free as possible.

I have a beautiful studio apartment where couchsurfers are welcome to crash on the couch.

I have quite a busy schedule so my space is more suited to guests who are just looking for a nice place to stay. I have however done a lot of exploring in my neighborhood and I am always happy to share my discoveries with guests and give advice on places to go and see.

I look forward to welcoming you to New York!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm hoping to meet some like-minded folk from all over- some of my best friends I've met abroad. Nothing like overseas reunions.
