Hello world 🖤

This is Gizem, I was born in a snowy and cold city called Erzurum in Turkey, raised there with a warm-blooded people despite the coldness and hospitable culture. ❄
I studied Psychological Counselling and Guidance in Ataturk University in my hometown. And I love my profession. 🤓
I want to learn and share from all over the world as much as possible. I really want to have beautiful memories to tell to my kids and relive when I get older.🌍
At the end of the day, the only things I can carry with me are the memories of the good people and days. Let's participate in some memories. 🌸
I find myself easygoing, cheerful(I make awful jokes sometimes but let's ignore that) and open-minded as much as possible. 🦄
I love listening to people's stories, learning about their culture and language and sharing mines.
Travel free, stay safe.✌

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I love traditional music, that why I was in a choir before. I sang Turkish folk music for 4 years in TRT child choir 🎶
I am open to every kind of music, especially the ones with meaningful lyrics
Feel free to suggest some songs 🎵
I don't have a favorite book, I can't choose just one because I believe every book is valuable in their own way
Prefer un-put-downable, different story movies, but I don't watch movies a lot

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've trapped in a cold dark mountain at night with only my snowboard and I managed to find my way back in one piece. But worthed for the adrenalin 🙀
