I am a student in Izmir and I have a flat I can share with anyone whom our interests meet. I was born in Istanbul, and lived there for 19 years. After I got sick and tired of the whole "big city" stress, I came here to lovely Izmir!

This is my 4th year in Izmir and the reason why I chose to come here is that it is the most humane city with its amazingly kind, open-minded people.

I am a fine arts student so my house is always full of project sketches and lots of fun.

I am so much interested in languages and music. I am doing freelance translations for Popular American TV Series and I am in a polyphonic choir for 2 years.

Since I am also living a temporary life here, I think it is my duty to serve whatever I have to the people who came to this city to discover.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that travel should not be about money. It is all about sharing. Couchsurfing is the best example that brings people together around this idea.

Plus, I am soon-to-be a traveler so, it is really good to know that I can also bring this opportunity of traveling like a local thing to the other people in my country.

Interests

If you can speak French, that would be amazing for me since it is my third year on French in college.

Music is a must. Any kind is welcome.

Animals are most welcome. I already have two cat sisters and they are lovely.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw Elton John live from the very first row and he smiled noticing me when I was going wild, dancing to Benny And The Jets.
