About Me

Due to the war in Ukraine, my flatshare is currently only available to host people fleeing the conflict. In order to keep our capacities open to accommodate people needing support, we are not accepting guests who are on regular travels / vacation at this point. If you are affected by the war, you are welcome to reach out, we would be happy to host you :)

Please also read the "about my home" section :)

---- Information about me -----
I love traveling and meeting new cultures and people. It’s all I’ve ever done... Growing up I’ve lived in 5 countries and 7 cities and the cultural exchange as shaped me greatly.
My mom’s from Austria and my dad’s from Turkey, so both countries and cultures are a part of me.

I'm interested in honest and authentic relating, to hear what truely moves people, with whatever is on their minds and hearts. I love to make music (piano, ukulele, singing & songwriting) and in my free time I get active for social and climate justice projects. Youth empowerment is a topic that is very dear to me. I'm interested in grassroot movements, traveling and building bridges between different cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Up until now I usually travelled with friends and stayed at hotels and hostels. In 2017 I took my first solo-interrail trip and couchsurfing was a powerful way to get to know amazing people and to be immersed in the culture of the host country. I used it again on my travels to Ukraine and Russiain Febuary 2018. I love to connect with new people along the way and I don't want to miss it since :)
