I was born and raised in the eastern part of Turkey, then moved to Istanbul for university education. I've really enjoyed studying law and sociology, then started to my master in private law. From the very beginning of my life, I'm really curious about how to fix this corrupt system of the world since it's not working well. I think that the nature has the absolute beauty, also cultures, societies, and languages... We can fix the world by only taking them into our considerations. So, I'm trying to discover, learn and experience all.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and discover the 'local' with them.

Interests

Climbed the Great Wall, and saw the Terracotta Warriors at my 20. Loved Fontana di Trevi, and been to Transylvania -the hometown of Dracula. Worked in the travel supplement of leading Turkish newspaper 'Hurriyet', and wrote journals about my travels. I was the president of the university literature club and human rights club.

Music, Movies, and Books

- I'm really glorifying the gypsy music and mostly listen that kind, but my favorite music is just made by an English country/pop musician: Charlie Winston.
- I couldn't decide about which one is my favorite movie: "Winter Sleep" by Nuri Bilge Ceylan, "Attila Marcel" by Sylvain Chomet, and "A Perfect Day" by Fernando León de Aranoa.
- My favorite book is - a pure Turkish novel - "Dear Shameless Death" written by Latife Tekin.
