Hey there! I'm Melike, I'm a 21 year old sociology student in Istanbul. I'm Turkish but also kinda American because I grew up in Upstate New York. I love traveling and the thing I like most about it is getting to know new cultures and meeting new people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Currently I'm on an exchange program in the Netherlands and I want to do a lot of travelling while I'm here! Unfortunately that's why I'm unable to host right now but would love to once I move back to Istanbul! :)
