Ciao! Hello! Merhaba!

I am a fourth year medical student from Istanbul, Turkey. For this semester i am a backpacker, doing Erasmus studies in Rome, Italy.
I like medicine, i am an OCD case with obsession for studying. But I also love drawing things and sketching, sadly most of which are also medical last days.
About travelling; I really love it. But my philosophy is not to travel but to live. So I have been trying to apply for long term internships and Erasmus and so on in order to live the country. Not just taking a look at the most popular views, but seeing the unexpected is important to me. This semester my to live country is Italy, but I will be wondering around Europe picking my next to live country!
And I really enjoy dancing, especially tango argentino.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since what I understand from the concept of travelling is to live the city, I consider couchsurfing as a communication with the locals.

Movies just two words; Harry Potter
