Hi my friend! I am Tuğba from Turkiye (İstanbul)
I work in a media agency. At the same time, I travel the world following my dreams. I've already traveled 13 countries alone, backpacking and hitchhiking! And... I vlog my travels and share them on my YouTube channel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When traveling, I always check out the Couchsurfing app before the hostel. Because when you go to a country, you are all alone at first. If you meet a local person, you have the chance to get to know that country more quickly, accurately and sincerely. I met incredible people on Couchsurfing. I met people who helped me easily find beauties that perhaps I could not find on my own.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I changed countries by going about 2000 KM by hitchhiking. I started hitchhiking from Cambodia to the city of Chiang Mai, located in the north of Thailand. It took me about 2 days! Hitchhiking with monsoon rains!

Teach, Learn, Share

► Turkish cuisine is really rich and delicious. Especially Turkish breakfast is incredibly delicious. I can teach you how to make the most famous breakfast "menemen".
► I will be happy if you share me detailed information about the country, culture and touristic or local places.
► If you want; we can shoot daily travel vlogs together for my YouTube channel.

What I Can Share with Hosts

🚨 I want you to read this 🚨

I've been actively using Couchsurfing for 1-2 years. You won't find any negative feedback about me from the people whose homes I've stayed in or met face to face.And you will never see a bad comment in the testimonials of the people whose houses I stayed with. You can see my photos with the people I met during my travels in the folders in the "Photos" section.

I've traveled to 13 countries (+) by making use of Couchsurfing and I am continue.
However, there are instances where some men write negative reviews about me without ever meeting me or seeing me, simply because I choose not to engage in dating or dine alone with them.

I'm truly exhausted by this behavior, as some men misuse Couchsurfing as if it were "Tinder."
Some have spoken ill of me, others have sent unsolicited photos, and a few have declined my stay requests because I didn't want to dine with them.

All three guys you see on my profile have exhibited such behavior towards me, and after leaving negative references, they blocked me. Is it really that simple? I rely on this app for my travels, and negative comments from men who mistreat me can significantly impact my journeys.

EVERYONE MUST USE THIS APPLICATION APPROPRIATELY!

Thank you! :)
