“My name is Öznur Yanmaz, and I enjoy meeting new people and finding ways to help them have an uplifting experience. I’m a gal in her early twenties who has an intense passion for travel, culture, and language. I have been to over 15 countries and am always the verge on planning my next trip. I grew up in Sakarya,TURKEY (though, if you really want to get specific, I spent my extremely formative teenage years in Eskişehir,TURKEY). I was a student at Anadolu University in Eskişehir. I was studying English Language Teaching I want to be an aspiring polyglot who speaks English.Now I am English Teacher in Diyarbakır. I also speak beginning Spanish, and know about three five words of German. My months in Polond(I made erasmus in Poznan) was excellent.Erasmus is a chance for universities and students across 15 countries to merge, learn new skills and expand their horizons.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Most travel guides pride themselves on authenticity: If you want to do as the Hungarians do, then you have to go to eat at this place, and shop at this store. Yet nothing’s really more authentic than an actual Hungarian taking you around Budapest to all of his favorite places, telling you things about the city that only someone from that city
would know. Whereas most people only get to dip a toe into another culture, Couchsurfing allows you to dive in headfirst. You may not walk away knowing all the details of Hungarian history and society, but you’ll come a way with a sense of what it’s like to walk around in the shoes of a Hungarian, even if just for a few days. That's why I'm on courchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a music lover so I listen to everything literally without complaining about it but I do have my favorite music.My favorite music band is Coldplay and my favorite singer is Bob Marley. I like opera a lot like Josh Groban or Andrea Bocelli. I like punk rock a lot like Green Day or Linkin Park or Marilyn Manson or Tonic. I like the violin and the piano and the guitar. Anything with those sounds will turn me on. I like trance music as well. I like folk and blues as well. I like Indie music as well. I just love everything really.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To stay all night in a strange place
We were looking for a place to sleep one night in Floransa.We got off at 2 am.We couldn't reserve any hostel before since our credit cards didn't work.We deiced to find a place at there.We looked for a place to sleep but nowhere accepted us due to the late hour.After we asked a hostel,we were going down the stairs and we saw a open door belongs to a well-decorated hotel.We entered but there was noboy.We had a fucking sleep.There was two sofa.Firstly,we sat down and slowly in there we started to sleep.In the morning,a woman was coming towards us.I opened my eyes and I came across two big eyes.I was frightened so much.We made excuses and we run like hell !!

Teach, Learn, Share

Moving abroad for Erasmus is meant to be a challenge, but a fun challenge. Challenge yourself to visit a million cliché landmarks, meet tons of people, and successfully find your way home in your new city after a night of partying. I am ready to share my room in Eskişehir and to share my experiences.
