Hello! My name is Merve, and I am from Turkey. I have been living in Istanbul since birth.

I studied painting and subsequently pursued a career as both a painter and an art teacher. Eventually, I had the opportunity to join a game company as a concept artist. Creating concept arts, illustrations, and conveying messages through them has always been one of my dreams. I aspire to share my own stories with the world in the future.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy conversing with foreigners and listening to their stories. I believe that everyone has intriguing tales to share about their lives, seen from various perspectives. As a painter, these stories often serve as great inspiration for me. I long to meet new people, explore new places, experience different cultures, and immerse myself in a multitude of colors.
