Hi there, i am Gözde, 29 years old, working as a urban planner and living in Istanbul. I've been travelling as much as i can and lately trying to do that alone, i can say that, it is a perfect way to understand myself, i love exploring new cities and countries with urban perspective also. In these changing times, it is so exciting to experience the world with people who have the same excitement to share their life experience, even just for a little time:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am interested in more being local where i go than just going around as a tourist. I don't want to miss the chance to benefit from someone's experience who is local and having real conversations about the culture and stuff about what is going on in real life. Couchsurfing gives the oportunity to have that chance :)

Nope, i can not say that here:)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some turkish words that helps you to see a cute expression on a person’s face that you’ll talk with, also i can teach you to make a turkish coffee and after that we can improve our abilities to tell fortune based on coffee grounds in the cup:) I cook all the time and we can try some traditional dish or sure we can have a great turkish breakfast together, i can show you around and talk about urban mobility or gentrification in istanbul
