About Me

CURRENT MISSION

happiness is a choice

ABOUT ME

I'm an easy-going, open-minded, energetic, self-confident and responsible person, i love traveling a lot. But traveling doesn't mean just seeing some buildings and taking pictures in front, it is also learning new life styles, beliefs, tasting different foods, making life-time going friendships to me. i don't like judging people, I believe in living life

What else?

To mention a little bit more about myself; I'm a former industrial engineer. I wanted to create something more and touch the life itself so for the long run i decided engineering is not the thing for me. I started my second university 3 years ago. I a psychology student now and currently living in Ghent as an Erasmus student. I performed some theater performance at my university years, now i'm moving on with dance, Tango, that i admire although i am a newbie:)

For 11 years i was a ballerina, but unfortunately after 11 years i had to quit. I'm not smoking. I have a silly and lovely dog at home. I'm living in Ghent for Erasmus but i will be living in Istanbul next year.

I have been to West and East Europe and USA. All of them were real life-time experiences for me. I discovered that i love being with different cultures and i know how to survive:)

so what?

so host me or let me show you around:)
ps: i can't afford to have a guest these weeks but i'll be able to. coming soon:)

PHILOSOPHY

Every man dies, but not every man really lives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

A friend told me about CS but those days I had no idea how big this platform is.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

From the first time I stayed with a Couchsurfer, I started to feel this warm feeling. I met with great people from totally different life's. It is a new color for travels.

It is great to see how much people are willing to give to a stranger without having any expectations. This platform shows the humanity in people and encourage you to do something good for them.

Best way to understand this spirit is to experience.
