I am a Moleculer Biology and Genetics student in Istanbul, Turkey. I am a vegan cyclist, backpacker, solo hitchhiker person, I have been travelling Turkey for 2 years by hitchhiking. I am an animal rights and Lgbti+ activist in Turkey.

I wanna explore the world, especially local areas, meet local people there and learn their cultures, be in the amazing nature! I am just rambling on this planet with my wilderness.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I'm here because I want to meet local people while travelling. And sometimes to adress my needs on the roads, like having a shower. I prefer stay in tent, squats, and couchs mostly. I want to have no relation with money^^

Interessen

Human rights, animal rights, Lgbti+ rights... I would like to talk about these and all kind of discriminations.

I want to learn new languages, even a few words would be great! French, Dutch would be much better. And of course you can teach me your culture! Anything you want to share with me is welcome^^

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

I can cook our traditional "zeytinyağlılar" -olive oil dishes- or any kind of vegan food and I think I'm a good chef, my friends -including non-vegan ones- really love my recipes! I can share my journey stories, I can learn some Turkish if you want, and I would be so glad if you can learn your language a little bit too, it can be like an exchange!

We can make conversation about what's going on the world, in your country and mine, all discriminations.

We can talk about animal rights and veganisim as a moral baseline, I can help you to go vegan if you think you might slog. Believe me, you won't. Going vegan is easy, cheap and healthy but most importantly there is a moral obligation to go vegan if we want to be fair and if we care about animals.
