Studying Tourism Guidance.

I speak many languages at different levels. You never know my level as I keep improving. Though mostly almost fluent. Just ask.

I worked in a tourism company during the summer, now I give online language classes for living. Pretty much struggling as a student though trying to enjoy every moment.

I make beats as well.

And play games sometimes.

FULL TIME VOLUNTEER IN VARIOUS NGOS, TRYING TO FIND MY OWN WAY TO START MY OWN.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Planning to start travelling and as a tourism guidance student, I can guide people here in İstanbul. I know a little too much about this city.

Interests

I love learning languages and cultures. History interests me too, mythology, literature and music too. Music as in mostly rap. But any traditional sound attracts me. Volunteering is my favourite thing to do.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well I do pretty amazing stuff. But working 4 months with only 4 off days could be the topper of the list. It paid off.

Teach, Learn, Share

Language is the road map of a culture. It tells you where its people come from and where they are going.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Languages and culture.
I don't really have a place to offer.
