Hey! I'm a 22 years old college student from İstanbul-Turkey. I'm studying communication at University Galatasaray. That's an university francophone so i'm learning French since 2015 and it started to kill my English and i'm really mad about that... I hopefully want to do something about cinema when i finish the school since i'm really into the world of cinema with a obsession of musical theatre. I'm very friendly with animals and since i’m a visibly queer person from middle-east, i’m really concerned about political issues and human rights. Finally i really love travel around the world and gain new experiences so i'm around here since summer 2016. From now, my favorite places to visit were Amsterdam and Barcelona but i keep discover beautiful cities of Europe for now. One day i want to travel across South America. I usually travel with my backpack and just ask for a small privacy since i'm involuntarily a little shy outside. Don't mind me if i seem a little distant i'm just really worried about disturbing anyone... In fact i believe i'm an easy-going person with high socializing potential.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to meet new people and cultures. I'm really into travelling to world and make it a good experience. Sharing things with people is always fun for me. So i'm here.

In 2016 summer, i stayed at hosts at Paris with my friend and it was a really great experience. I made many good friends and adventures. Here are referances from that visits: https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/merve-edeer/references?type=host

Music, Movies, and Books

For music, i cannot go with one specific genre and i’m open to anything that make me feel something i guess. But you know, ABBA is something else.

I'm trying to watch all kinds of movies because i’m trying to learn something from each one of them since cinema is the world i want to build a career on. But my weakness is musical movies and American independent cinema in the first place i think. And again, i definitely have something for Richard Linklater’s cinema.

Six Feet Under, Scrubs, Fleabag and Looking are some of my favourite tv shows.

In this time of constantly distracting technologic devices, i’m really trying to spare some time for reading more, but i think i can and should try harder.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can suggest tv shows or movies or Broadway soundtracks, anything i’m capable of, so many things
