Hi everyone! I'm traveler, musician/drummer and prospective PhD student. I'm a courteous, calm and open-minded İstanbul local who loves discovering new countries/places and cultures. I have many different interests/hobbies and adventurous personality. I'm obsessed with learning something new and get experienced.

Here is the thing that i always get inspired; '' read and travel a lot so that live thousands of years''.

And, it's classic but certainly works: ''Life begins at the end of your comfort zone''.

Currently, i live with my parents and so it's not possible to accepiting guests. However, travelers who want to learn much about Istanbul and Turkey (culture, history, life, food, hidden gems, etc.) or look for locals to hang out are welcome. :))

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

Meeting people from all over the globe, learning and getting inspired from them… I love traveling but not in a way that like a tourist. So, it is amazing to see new places from a local perspective and get true experiences. I'd love to make worldly connections with people and have new like-minded friends. And also being surrounded by travelers, musicians, artists, adventurers etc.
