About Me

At the moment I'm travelling around the south east asia, so I can't host!

Hey there! 24 years in this world and trying to understand it and explore its beauties. Graduated from my bachelor and now I'm traveling. I'm open-minded and easy-going person, at least people say so. I'm usually quiet and calm. I love meeting new and different kind of people and hearing their stories and adventures. I love travelling and seeing different places and different cultures. Travelling and backpacking is a lifestyle for me and I think you can learn more about life by travelling than you do at school. Even though I haven't been to so many countries yet, I've had a urge to see all around the world since I was a kid. I'm just trying to live in the moment and enjoy the life. I'm also a musician and music is a big part of my life and I'm also interested in literature. I guess now you know me very well :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In my opinion, the best way to explore a city is to spend time with locals. It is also nice to see and do some touristic stuff but if you really want to learn or get into a culture you should communicate and spend time with locals.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't know, there are many but it's definetly not to wake up early and go to my lectures or work :))

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn new languages and different cultures. I'd like to learn Spanish and Italian, so if you can help me I would be grateful. I love to listen people's stories. I can teach you Turkish culture, and show you some Turkish music. I can teach you how to play guitar, give some movie and music suggestions and tell my travel stories.
