Heey dear surfers and hosts all over the world! I'm Sevval, a 27 yo master's student living currently in the amazing city of Berlin. I'm originally from Turkey and last 6 years I was living in Istanbul for my studies and work.

I moved to Berlin in October 2021 to pursue my master's in Innovation Management, Entrepreneurship and Sustainability topics. I can speak German yet still keep learning to make it more fluent.
In September 2022, I moved to Lille, France for my semester abroad.

I'm an easy-going, adventurous, flexible person who always seeks to flex her comfort zone and push the limits a lil bit more :)

For the moment, I don't have enough space to host surfers but looking forward to the days I can open my house as well!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Without connecting with locals, discovering how different lives are shaped in those places, listening to new stories that allow me to reobserve mine with a new perspective...without all these my travels would be always missing something.

Interests

I love cooking new recipes, most of the time creating my own, and enjoy eating good food :) Whenever I have the opportunity, I travel around but when I stay at home, I spend time with my sewing machine; this is my way of meditation. I like to taste wines from different regions and save them in the app called Vivino or take notes on my wine notebook. I do yoga, hiking, used to play tennis but took a long break.
