Born in Beirut. I have moved around all my life living in Lisbon, Seoul, Berlin and then going to the U.K. for my bachelors. Therefore it's hard for me to identify as a true Turkish person. (I prefer being an international.) I'm currently doing my masters in EU and International Relations in Istanbul.

I like to stay active wherever I am and see and do as much as I can. Quite enjoy taking photographs not just whilst travelling but also on my way to school/work.

I would love to meet as many people as I can and share experiences with likeminded people and also debate with those I do not agree with.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've missed my flight from Berlin to Istanbul on purpose just to make it a challenge, take myself out of my comfort zone and have decided to hitchhike back instead. I plan on taking portraits of every person that offers me a ride and a place to stay. The main objective of this little photography project is to be able to train myself the ability to portray people's kind hearts through photos.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sitting next to a person on a bus, who later becomes my housemate but ultimately my best friend.

Teach, Learn, Share

Having a good conversation can teach me loads and hopefully it can be reciprocal! So I cant say there is anything to teach/learn in particular (: Other than that, I enjoy sharing pretty much everything I can possibly share!
