Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hey All, I moved from New York to Istanbul in March 2019 and would love to host and meet travelers. I myself backpacked across parts of North Africa, Europe and the Middle East and was absolutely struck by the hospitality I encountered from locals and want to give back to the community in this way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed the Great Wall of China. I had no expectations and it turned out to be the most breathtaking experience.

What I Can Share with Hosts

- I have a two bedroom apartment, so one bedroom is yours!
- I live in Kuzguncuk, Istanbul -- a fairytale neighborhood that's described as a village within a metropolis
