I'll try (almost) anything once. I am a quirky, fun loving person. I love hearing peoples stories about their lives during heart to heart intimate conversations.

I travel to escape the hustle and bustle of the busy city but on my trips I love to adventure and I’m incapable of sitting still. Photography is one of my passions so I try to capture the beauty of any place I go to.

I was born in Turkey but grew up on Long Island most of my life, and later went to school in NYC, where I currently work. I live in Astoria and love it. It's a very homey neighborhood which feels authentic, with the most diversity out of any borough. My favorite part about living in NYC is that we can have authentic food from countless cuisines from all around the globe and the fast pace means there is always something to do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love connecting with locals to really learn more about our similarities and differences. I always treasure moments where I can fully absorb a new culture and respect traditions. Couchsurfing is a great platform for an opportunity to connect in that way.

Jumped out of a plane against my fathers deepest wishes, the free fall was the most freeing 60 seconds of my life.
