Hi everyone,

My name is Tuana Yucel. I'm 23 years old and coming from Turkey now studying Business in Binghamton University for a semester. I really love traveling, meeting new people and learning new cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Some of my friends told me about their couchsurfing experiences they had last year and I think it's a great opportunity for me to experience while I'm traveling in the US.

Interests

I really love to cook Turkish foods, meeting new people and learn their traditional foods and most of all different lifestyles. I also love playing piano even if I'm a beginner for now:) I also love exploring new restaurants and trying different foods and making comments about the decoration, menu and the staff of that restaurants on my blog.

Favorite movie is Jeux d'enfants. -best love story ever

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Coming to the USA and staying for a semester with natives is one of the best things I've ever done. I've traveled to other countries before for short time but living in a country for more than 3 months makes you a part of it and help you to gain new perspective of life.
