Hi, everyone! This is Meral. I've been living in Midyat (which is a small town in Mardin) for four years due to my work. And I must say, I've fallen in love with it. If you're into places that are small but have soul, you're in the right spot!

I'm open to learning and gaining perspectives from others. That's why I'm on CS.

Cheers!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I wanted to give it a try just before decided to go to Iran, and then I found strangers in my home :D

Teach, Learn, Share

The thing I like the most is learning new songs and movies from my surfers which they enjoy the most. So we can share our tastes in music and cinema.
I also enjoy photography. If you're into that, feel free to share some tricks with me.
