Helloo! I'm Janel. I live my crazy life as an English teacher in Istanbul

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like that we are all so different but so similar at the same time :)
I love to meet locals. To feel their lifestyle and see non-touristic, hidden places

Interests

I love nature!
Mountains, lakes, parks... it makes me happy.

Walk in the city, get lost, explore it again, find something new in the usual things - that is the best activity for me :)

I also love art and taking pics
