Hi everyone,
I finished my masters in metallurgical engineering in Aachen and currently living in Cologne. Before that i lived in Istanbul for 4 years, which was one of the best times in my life :). I love travelling around the world and meet new people and cultures. Also, I am a film addict and I'm in love to movie festivals, and participated Istanbul Film Festival as a volunteer for 3 years.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a great oppurtunity to meet new people and learn their life experiences, stories. It's always amaze me to hear new things all the time :)
