I'm currently getting my Master's at the University of St Andrews in Scotland. I've studied and volunteered issues relating to peace, refugees, the Middle East, and cultural heritage. My dream is to use architecture to (quite literally) build peaceful environments. I would love to move back to Turkey or India someday.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel, but I'm on a student's budget. Meeting new people and having/providing a "homey" environment is a great way to see new places! I have only had amazing experiences when using couchsurfing with friends.
