Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am very interested in different cultures. I feel that the more I know the bigger I am as a human. Every time I learn a language I try to learn everything about the culture of the people that speak it, and right now I'm learning Spanish, and OMG there are so many varieties and peoples speaking it! Its fascinating!!
So my reason for CS is to learn more about other places in the world and share my own experienced here in Istanbul as a foreigner with a pinch of a Russian perspective.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I moved to Istanbul with almost no money and friends, got a job, rented a place, did my MA and learned Turkish

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share all I know about this beautiful city, the nice places to eat, cool places to visit, the must-DOs and must-EATS :D
For me this city is all about enjoying life, through food, picturesque views, amicable people and the music of the streets.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my couch, my time, the best tea in Istanbul, my experiences here and useful info on how to get around. If I am free i'd love to come with you, otherwise I will provide info on how to get where you need.
