My motivation for living:

- Discovering new places
- Growing as a person
- Connecting with other people through talking about nature, life and other deep / nurturing conversations.

My friends would identify me as:

- Kind
- Responsible person (Capricorn (nice one, l swear :D))
- Control freak and always have "to do list" (working on this one :D)
- Tea person
- I like dipping cookie in the tea
- l like the smell of freshly lawned grass
- If you have blanket and want to watch starts with small picnic. Well, you got me.
- l like waving at strangers on streets
I love the both of reactions!
Either people smiling and waving back by saying "Hi" or horror on their face like who the f*ck is this person?!

- Probably too much Harry Potter fan (will read all books - that is on my bucket list)
How much? :D
When l was 12, l had Turkish Potterhead facebook (yes, l am GenZ, having FB account at 12 ^-^) friends.
One of my friends in the group posted a picture with just a white background. Soon enough, other Potterheads started commenting on the picture, talking about what they saw (like Patronus spell, everybody was commenting something different!). I decided to comment honestly, "I see just white, nothing else."
They called me muggle and l started to cry hahahahha

- Interested in Japanese Culture, anime, mange, K-drama

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am a people oriented person and l like to meet new people from different background and culture.

- In 2020, l went to Porto for 6 months of exchange programme and l got stuck there because of worldwide pandemic and l couldn't and didn't want to get back to my country. Stayed in Dormitory with other non-EU students and had eaten a lot and did party a lot, since it was just us in a lockdown :D

- When l had to go back from Porto to my hometown (Baku), flights got cancelled (when l was in airport :D) and l had to take bus and highway roads to come from Athens, Greece to Istanbul :D. I hitchhiked (in Turkey, to pass the border from Greece to Turkey hahahah) with 40 kg baggage :DD.

- l migrated to another country thorugh professional career to be out of comfort zone and start new chapter in my life at the age of 22
