About Me

I'm an easygoing, open-minded, helpful, tidy, talkative,and cheerful person.
I like to meet people from different cultures and talk about life and learn about them. I love to hear about their experiences and where they have been. As soon as I graduate I want to travel around myself. Or maybe sooner than I thought, who knows!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since I love learning new things and have experienced to meet different people from around the world,and learn their stories, I decided to join here to learn more:)

I am planning to show around my guests by buses and by foot:) Because I think the best way to discover a city is achieved through walking and exploring! :)

I can show you Dolmabahce Palace, Basilica Cistern, Galata Tower, Maiden'sTower, Tombs, Mosques (Mihrimah Sultan, Fatih, Şehzadebasi), Hagia Sophia, Grand Bazaar, Miniaturk, Camlica hill, Beylerbeyi Palace etc.

I've personally visited almost all of them but if we stuck, we can always ask to people to give us direction (Turkish people really helpful about giving direction:) ) or we can use google map so no worries:)

Interests

Reading, watching science fiction/action movies and sometimes cartoons with my brother :)

Walking and enjoying with greenery outside..

Nowadays I'm watching Nouman Ali Khan lectures on Youtube which amaze me a lot:)
