Hi, I’m Merve!
I’m a friendly, open-minded traveler from Turkey who loves exploring new places, meeting people from different cultures, and sharing stories over a good cup of coffee. I’ve visited 20 countries so far, and my dream is to see as much of the world as possible.

I’m passionate about history, art, and nature — and I’m always up for spontaneous adventures. When I travel, I like to experience local life rather than just tourist attractions. I believe in kindness, respect, and the idea that every person you meet can teach you something new.

If we meet, I’d be happy to share my culture, cook a Turkish meal, or just enjoy great conversations together.

PHILOSOPHY

Be kind, stay curious, and never stop exploring.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe travel is not only about seeing places but also about connecting with people. Couchsurfing gives me the chance to meet locals, share stories, and experience destinations in a more authentic way.
