Hello CS family!

I have been living in Istanbul for 13 years. I studied politics and international relations. Currently working as auditor in a start up company based in Istanbul.

I am interested in sports, singing, reading, traveling and discovering good food in the city:) As a nature lover, I also would like to spend time in nature, love long walks, going trekkings.

In my spare time I would like to read or listen podcasts about human rights, lgbti+ activism, environmentalism, vegan/vegetarian nutrition, physiology.

Generally, I am traveling alone that’s why CS is my best friend to make my travels fun and memorable.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined couchsurfing in order to meet new people who have different cultures.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like generally all kinds of music, as long as the music is qualified. Mostly like post rock, jazz and folk sounds. I am a book-worm especially interested in turkish classics and contemporary world literature. To be honest, due to not concentrate for a long time, i can not say that i have a large film culture.
