Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I want some genuine connections. Not shallow people who are trying to benefit me such as using my home as a Free home or getting tips to show off to their friends. This is a BIG NO! I am simply here to share my experiences and being helpful to fellow CouchSurfers to visit and travel my beautiful city Istanbul.
