Hello! I'm Stella but prefer to go by Elio and I currently live in Istanbul with my cat.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used to couchsurf quite a bit during my backpacking trips and it was great for meeting new people and learning about local life. Now that I'm living a more settled lifestyle for a change and have my own living space, I thought I would come back as a host!
