Overview
About Me
I am a student in Istanbul, I like travelling and making new friends. I'm an adventurous person who loves to try new things. I believe I'm open minded and outgoing. I'm talkative and friendly. I study literature and I also enjoy reading philosophy. I enjoy debating and I attend debating tournaments in Europe.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm on couchsurfing because i think it is never enough to just see around the city as a tourist. To actually understand the culture and environment, you need to meet some local people. That's why i think i can be very useful for the people who travel to Turkey. However, I am currently living in my universities doormitory, so I'm not allowed to have any guests. I'll start hosting when I move into a new place, until then I can help you see around Istanbul.
Interests
I recently started doing yoga and I find it very calming. I'm talkative and i like philosophical thinking, so I really enjoy debating. I started bachata dancing this summer, so nowadays i'm also interested in latin dances. I love nature and camping. Currently I'm in Romania to volunteer in a children's camp.
Music, Movies, and Books
Music: I like blues and classical music, but i don't have a favorite genre.
Movies: Blade Runner, Vertigo, Dial M for Murder, Shutter Island, Fight Club, Forrest Gump, The Usual Suspects
Books: I'm a huge fan of Harry Potter books. I also love French literature, Sartre's Age of Reason is my favourite one. I also enjoy reading Ancient Greek and Roman literature.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I have climbed up the great wall!
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm a constant learner. I don't like ideologies and sets of thoughts. I believe I'm a new person everyday with the new experiences. I like being on the road and I love the sense of freedom it gives me. I went on my first hitchiking journey couple of months ago, and I loved the idea that instead of owning a car, you can be a guest to any car in the world. I think couchsurfing is a bit similar, I would prefer the experience of real hospitality to any luxury hotel. I want to travel as much as I can and meet new people. I believe I have so much to learn from everyone with their unique experiences.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can share my stories from my previous trips, my ideas in various topics if you're interested. I can make you nice special Turkish coffee.
