I'm a university student from Turkey, Istanbul. I'm 22 years old and I love travelling. I have gotten the chance to travel for around a month around Europe after living in Madrid for one semester as an Erasmus student in 2018, and I'm dreaming of travelling all around the world. I'm a social person who likes making new friends. I'm really into many kinds of music, though metal has a special place for me from my ~younger~ years. I love reading, especially about history.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm poor, I'd love a good couch :D Besides, it's really nice to meet new people and learn about a country through getting to know locals. Locals have the wisdoms of where to go and where not to go in a town. I appreciate the experience of trying new things and expanding my horizons by meeting new people.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to all kinds of music but even though I can't get the energy to listen to it everyday, I'd say death metal is love, prog metal is life. Opeth, Haken, Caligula's Horse. I also love Persian, Arabic and Greek music a lot.

Saramago and Amin Maalouf are among my fav writers that I can think of. But I mostly read nonfiction - history, philosophy or sociology books.

Not really a movie nerd. So much that my fav movie might still be Requiem for a Dream, not updated since 10 years :D Not very much into things that require me to fully concentrate for a long time :/

Teach, Learn, Share

Cooking maybe. And I might be helpful with languages although being self-taught in all but English and French, one shouldn't expect me to know grammar perfectly :p I'm just going along with the 6th sense from the books I read in my language dealings.

What I Can Share with Hosts
