In Istanbul for the time being. I’m graphic designer and photographer - working and living abroad. Viewing Couchsurfing as the perfect way to integrate and meet some new people. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing to meet people and have a better understanding of the cities I’m visiting! I am not able to host at the moment since I am living abroad, but the day I settle down I can’t wait to host guests. The kindest people have helped me through Couchsurfing, and I intend to return that kindness by hosting one day.
