CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I consider myself someone alkative, cheerful and easygoing! I like to travel and make memories. It doesn't have to be a new place every time , I also enjoy discovering something different in a place I have been to a thousand times before. I take photographs both professionally and with my phone for social media. I try to live to the fullest and get the best out of everything to expand my comfort zone.

PHILOSOPHY

You have only one day and it's today so live!
Respect and tolerance for the different.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just love travelling. CS is the best way to do it more easily and gives the chance to get to know the culture and people of a place. An at the times that I cannot travel, I can still have friends here :) Moreover, I like to talk and be active in the language that I've been learning so you can write to me if you simply want to have a chat in English or Spanish. That'd be great! ;)

¡Hola! Yo soy una estudiante y he aprendido español durante un año. Si hablas español, puedo ayudarte como una guía de turismo en Estambul porque a mí me encanta la vida cuando hablo español por eso quiero practicarla. Claro, no soy perfecta pero podemos divertirnos mucho porque tengo un estilo distintivo de hablar generalmente ;)

Interests

I do LOVE reading. Bookstores and libraries are like temples to me. One of my favorite things is to sit with a book and watch the people around when I take a break.

Make-up! Wow, it's more like art for me. Besides the general stuff and everyday make up, I'm into decorative make up. I like to use my face as my canvas and turn myself into different things rather than a normal human being :D

Music, Movies, and Books

Becoming Jane, Young Victoria, A Royal Affair, Amelie, Gap Year, The Age of Adaline, The Pianist, Memento, 3 Idiots, Taare Zameen Par, Dead Poets' Society, Les Choristes, The Martian

It totally depends on my mood so I have a very versatile taste of movies, music and books :)
I love spoken word poetry and I do that secretly. Have you heard about Sarah Kay? She is a goddess!

Music is a servant and master to our souls so I appreciate it in any form. Yet, there are a few favorites of mine:
James Blunt, Coldplay, Hozier, Natalia Lafourcade, Zoé, Marit Larsen, Pablo Alborán, La Oreja De Van Gogh, Katy Perry.

And books..Is it possible to choose a pebble from the whole shore to name my favorite? I don't think so. I'm a strong believer of the idea that you don't choose books to read but they choose you to be read so I find a sentence or a word special in each single thing I read. My favorite writers are Ece Temelkuran, Yaşar Kemal, Sabahattin Ali, Paul Auster, Stefan Zweig, Montaigne, Oscar Wilde, Jane Austen, Richard Bach...and the list goes on.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent two years volunteering with very little children with less opportunities. That experience, every day, widened my perspective and broke the bias which I wasn't aware of at all! I still try my best to defend human rights in every area I have access to.

Interrailing! With one of my closest friends, we went to six countries that we chose randomly without any accommodation. It was in winter, there was snow everywhere but that was amazing!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a lot but how do we define it? We could share a moment, have a cup of coffee and discover how close we are no matter how far we seem. Politicians draw borders between us on a map but I don't want to let them cause such indifference to each other. Instead, I'd like to listen to everbody's stories and grow a bit more as a person.
