Hi! I've been living in Ankara for the past 7 years. Previously, I lived in Istanbul and Budapest. After a long break, I’m back on Couchsurfing and happy to open my home to travelers.

I love travelling and meeting people from different cultures. I am curious about different thoughts, ideas, experiences, feelings, hopes. I am curious how different and how same we are.

Just a few quick things about me: I'm a software engineer and a PhD student, so weekdays can get pretty busy. I’m usually more available on weekends. I don’t smoke, and I follow a pescetarian diet.

If I have time, I’d be happy to show you around the city and share some of my favorite local spots.

Looking forward to meeting you!
