From the east to west, I grew up in almost all regions of Turkey.If you have visited Turkey, you would know that each part is a different culture itself. I have always enjoyed meeting people and learning whatever they ready to teach me. I have been living in Istanbul for almost 10 years now, because of my education.I started high school in Istanbul and still continue to live there for my university.However right now, I am in Lisbon with Erasmus program.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have only visited countries as a 'tourist'. But couchsurfing is offering more than this... I don't want to miss the chance to see the city from the eyes of the locals, learn their culture more closely and share my culture and my experiences with them :)
