a 22-year-old young woman, living in Istanbul and studying economics. My biggest aim is to see the most I can see in the world, and I try to travel as much as I can in every tiny gap, weekends/national holidays etc. My travel plans mostly consist of buying last minute tickets and finding out the rest. :) I am not very good at describing myself actually, but I guess adjectives like 'warm', 'energetic', 'talkative', 'outgoing' would work. Also, people say that I have nothing to do shyness and sometimes I share too much (I basically say most of things I think without hesitation) and may become a little bit tactless, so warn me if that happens. ^^

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to explore new places and I cannot think of a better way to do that than exploring a city with it's locals! My travel motto is basically to see, learn and experience as much as I can and Couchsurfing helps me a lot in that!

Music, Movies, and Books

Well, Come on, there is so much of them, how am I supposed to list all of them? ^^ To give a basic idea, I guess I can say...
Music: My music taste is pretty wide actually. There is some classical, but a touch of rap, a little bit alternative, and a hint of indie etc. The main idea is that I do listen any kinds of music as long as I like it :)
Movies: the same with music... I guess i need a wow factor in movies. apart from that, in particular, I like animation, the lion king, finding nemo and the incredibles are my all time favorites. And ofc, LOTR and Harry Potter.
Books: I love poetry. I really really do. Apart from that, Killing a Mockingbird and Persepolis - well, they are something else for me. And as you can guess, I read LOTR and Harry Potter books more than ten times I guess (and I'm at the book is better than the movie team)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

watched the sunrise from a hot air balloon in Capadocia when I was a kid ^^

Teach, Learn, Share

well, most! as usual, my experiences mostly. I can teach some basic dance moves (real basic ones :) ), teach turkish and make you laugh with my french! I do some turkish coffe fortune telling for fun too (no real comments ^^) and Also, I love to cook, and if I get a chance to cook anything, you can be sure there will be some for you too :)
