About Me

I was born in Niğde, a small town in southern Turkey. But if you ask me, I will say that I'm from Ankara because it is easier to explain.

I lived out my youth life studying in Ankara. It was my home for 6 years. After my graduation, I moved all the way up north to Tallinn. Now, I'm here pursuing master's.

I was a research asisstant once. In Singapore. Singapore is great people, go there at least once.

I tend to say I like meeting new people but the truth is, I am an introvert. Meeting new people creeps me out. But I do my best. I am not fond of small talk. Deep stuff, that I can do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This part is about cliches. Meeting and befriending is all there's to it.

I once hosted a German guy (he's not on the refence list, because, I don't know), he was cycling through Europe and Asia. It was ecstatic to know what people do in life that I can't even begin to dare.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a whole night out sleeping in the park in Hong Kong. This is how bad-ass I am. (No, I am not.)

I spent a night in Macau, sleeping in a McDonald's. The city is rich, as well as the accomodation (price-wise).

I took a surfing course in Surfers Paradise once. Just once. Surfing is cool, so I started telling people that I do surfing as a hobby. Noone believes me. It's unbelievable.

I did rock climbing in Tasmania. That rocked. Really, it might be my introduction to extreme sports. I haven't done anyting extreme since then.

Teach, Learn, Share

Can someone teach me knitting? Seriously, I learnt it from my mama years ago, but now I'm completely out of touch. Is there group for knitters here? Hit me up if you know something.

Learning some bad words in other languages also helps. I can teach you those in Turkish if you wish.

I could also bring what Estonia has to offer.

Cook, cook, cook. Write me recipes, I'll do the same in return.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My presence?

No, but I can share my uninteresting memories as well as other things I've learnt growing up.
