Hello Couchsurfing community! I'm Selma, a dedicated traveler with a love for cultural exchange. I’m quite new here :) I’m an English teacher working in Gaziantep, Turkey. I love traveling and getting to know different cultures.

I firmly believe that immersing oneself in a place is best done through the perspectives of locals. Hosting and being hosted have gifted me with profound connections, forging friendships that transcend borders.

I'm enthusiastic about exchanging stories, reliving experiences, and uncovering the hidden treasures of every city. As a host, I aim to offer a warm and inviting space for fellow travelers to discover the charm and distinctiveness of my city. Whether it's exploring lesser-known spots or simply sharing a meal and engaging in enjoyable conversations, I'm eager to connect and build unforgettable experiences together.

Excited to meet new friends from across the globe and create lasting memories through Couchsurfing!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing to go beyond the typical tourist experience and immerse myself in the authenticity of different places. For me, it's not just about finding a place to crash; it's about connecting with locals, understanding their perspectives, and creating lasting memories through shared experiences.

Also, I use Couchsurfing to step out of my comfort zone, embrace new experiences, and make connections that go beyond borders.

With this platform, I’ve met super nice people, and learned new things. Couchsurfing for me is more than just finding a place to stay. It's about meeting amazing people, learning, and growing through shared experiences. It's a global adventure that breaks down borders, fosters trust, and celebrates hospitality, making the world friendlier, one couch at a time.
