I was born and raised in Istanbul but now I live in Izmir.

I try to teach Turkish on Youtube, and teach English and translate things for a living.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I can show you around in Istanbul/Izmir and when I travel abroad you might happen to be my guide too. I enjoy solo travelling but also recognise the advantages of having a local friend.

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - anything but rap and painfully screaming type of metal

Films - Fiddler on the Roof is my all time favourite. About a Boy and Wild are also on my top 3 list

Books - I like Paulo Coelho books but my favourite is the Little Prince

Teach, Learn, Share

Watch me teach Turkish on YouTube (@runafes) and Facebook (/learn.Turkishh) People say I am helpful. I'd like to meet someone who's good at skateboarding. I have a board but haven't spent much time on it.
