I am busy these days with researching and writing for my thesis on participative sociocultural spaces. In between I am trying to keep in touch with life outside of that, I draw a lot, take pictures, read, and experiment with food - sometimes it's very good.

I've lived in different places in Germany and in Istanbul. Currently I am in Berlin which still has some charm for me despite the place having some issues, but I also enjoy leaving it.

The languages listed are a big part of my life (and linguistics was part of my studies) and I sincerely would love to practice with you, though I must warn you that currently Turkish is simply overriding my language learning receptors: I listen to basic Spanish and understand, but when I try to answer only Turkish is produced. English and German I speak fluently though.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I feel like an app like this can attract cool people that will have interesting things to share from all over the world.
I use the app to meet those people, help out travelers in need, and to be helped out in need.
