Hi I am Seylan - young and passionate to explore new destinations and cultures! I am originally from Azerbaijan. Currently, I work and study in Hungary. I love to explore the countries around Europe and try to immerse myself into local culture and lifestyle. I love solo-travelling I believe it is the best way to step out of the comfort zone and actually meet the world outside!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I believe there is a slight difference between the words tourists and traveler. If one wants to be a tourist all he/ she needs to do is to book hotel, the flight ticket and check for the destinations in the tourists' guide brochures . But if one wants to be a traveler then he/ she need to knock the door of the locals and spend amazing time together with them drinking beer in the local pub.

兴趣

I am an environmental activist and my main focus is to raise the consumers' consciousness on environmental issues. I believe in making an IMPACT no matter how tiny it is, if I am able to convince my community to be more environmentally conscious then I will have the ambassadors spreading same values and making bigger impact.
I love minimalism - tho I do not consider myself to be one yet. In the recent years I start implementing minimalist practices into my daily life. Before I purchase something the first question I give myself : "Will this bring and VALUE to you or your life?" if the answer is: "not sure, maybe" then I definitely put it away.

I love Contemporary Fashion and Design and I love to visit the boutiques of local fashion designers and art galleries in any destination I go. I like to read the Vogue Magazine and drink Americano with no milk and no sugar :)

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I would love to have talks on cultures, diversity, values with the host. I believe meeting people around the world and sharing the actual stories connects the world. Aaand of course, tasting different cultures creates a stronger relations- so I would be happy to cook a national dish for a dinner with my host!
