Sorry to say I am not currently set up in a home that can host anyone! In fact I'm hardly fixed in a single country.. but once I am, definitely eager to invite creative couchsurfers into my space :)

I am in love with being a student, discovering people, and visiting new ideas. I want to listen and laugh. I have infinite obsessions starting with photography, dogs, games, science, linguistics, art, activism, wordplay, saltwater, and teachable moments. I try to contribute more than I consume, but I suppose only others can decide if I'm successful. I'm extremely chill and am known for how much I smile.

I'm a Turkish-Californian (with an identity crisis), but right now I'm a Masters student in Germany doing a program that studies in three continents over two years. I just spent six months living in South Africa and another six months in India, soaking up as much of these places as possible and learning at every academic and non-academic opportunity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm brand new to CouchSurfing although it seems like it's been my way of life organically for a while. In case the luck doesn't work out of meeting someone to stay with in a new place, it's handy to have this website available ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

Let me teach you about board games.
Let me learn about your favorite window to stare through. Or a cool phrase in a language I don't speak. Or a hiking trail most people don't know about. Or a stray dog that is just so so friendly.
Let us share a meal.
