Hello! ^^ My name is Serpil. I was born in Istanbul, Turkey and still live in there. I studied International Trade and Business in Bahcesehir University. I came back from an amazing Erasmus experience on June, 2016. Right now, I'm working in a pharmaceutical company. Here there are few things about me. I like taking photos, dancing, reading and jogging & running. I have recently been interested in yoga. I just start to play cello. And the only thing that I can't say 'no' is dessert! I’m so much a chocolate lover!
P.S.: If you would like to see the photos that I took, here it's my instagram account: https://www.instagram.com/serpilkosak/

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As everyone knows, Erasmus program is a good opportunity to meet new people, know new cultures, and also travel. And, I really like these three things. During Erasmus program, I joined to this platform, traveled a lot and met with a lot of people.

After Erasmus Program, I came back to Istanbul, and miss those days on abroad so much. So, here I am to meet with new people and learn about other cultures. And I know couchsurfing is one of the best ways for this.
