"Not all those who wander are lost" - J.R.R. Tolkien

Although couchsurfing decided to only take my (first) first name off of fb, my name is Elif Su and I actually go by Su :)

traveler, aspiring polyglot, teacher and translator...

By the way, I live and travel with my partner Gergő, who is admittedly a lot more impressive than I am :)

Fair warning before you read further: I overuse smileys like a gushing teenager -- sorry! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We want to know new people from all over the world and see the city from the perspective of a local, as well as share experiences and get in some language practice :)

PS: Sorry we can't host anyone right now, we're moving on June 4th! Once we're settled down I promise we'll open our doors to anyone who might wish to stay with us...
