CURRENT MISSION

At some point, I want to get a van and travel with my cats. For the time being, I'd like to learn something every day.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 26-year-old person/girl/woman. I write, I read and watch movies. I also brew coffee. I can say that I am open minded, love to talk and listen. Currently, I'm doing my master's in the Netherlands. Watching natural people and things in real life should be a hobby. And, I'm in love with animals.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

*TRAVELING ATM, SO I AM NOT HOSTING TILL MARCH - 2019*

I have a place in Istanbul Turkey where I live with my boyfriend. We got a sofa bed for two in the living room.

We also have 3 cats. They usually sleep with us but occasionally might come and nuzzle up :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I try to couchsurf anywhere I go. So far I've been to NYC and hosted 2 times in Istanbul. I aim to couchsurf more because every one of them was amazing. I always have fun.

I've gained so many wonderful friends and memories through this system. It's my go-to anytime.

Interests

I love good wine, red, if possible and good coffee, natural process. I'm a vegetarian but not an advocate, it stays as a part of my lifestyle- doesn't have to be yours.
My interest in books includes science, neurology, psychology, thriller, literary fiction, history... I write stories and poems, translate books and take pictures of anything I find worth remembering. Filming people and places, reading almost any text really and chatting (I listen more than I talk), walking around, silly-dancing, good tea and music always.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm amazed by how happy I become when I get out of my own comfort zone and get used to a new way of living. And so I try to put myself in difficult situations, which is counter-intuitive. I'm actually an introvert...

I know it's cheesy but amazement is a very relative term and I was amazed mostly by things I can't describe.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can be a good teacher, though I think I am not sufficient in anything other than being me. But I can teach you Turkish, literature and I guess weird music. I can share my love for nature and knowledge on cats.

and oh, there you go: https://medium.com/@physicaldisplacement
