Bonjour à tous!
It may sound a little bit clichée but I think it's really hard to talk about yourself with just a few words. I'm open-minded and interested in different cultures...I'm semi-vegetarian. I'm a law student and I raised in Istanbul.I can describe myself as a MUNer :) I've represented so many countries in different MUN conferences,I think that made me look to the world from a wider perspective.In my home university,I stayed with international students it was great to know different cultures...

On this journey,I am planning to see Europe with my amazing and lovely friend,Merve.She's also a law student and doing her exchange like me in Mannheim,Germany.
My motto would probably be: diversity in every aspect.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well,I believe we have very limited time on Earth to experience things.That's why I'd like to visit different countries and see that world's full of limitless things.Meeting with locals and listening to people who have experienced much than me would be great for me.That's why I'm here.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When my father and I were travelling across Black Sea region,which is the northern part of Turkey,we've seen two Americans who were trying to hitchhike.We stopped and asked them where they were planning to go,they told that till the night they needed to be in Ankara,capital of Turkey.The place that we took them was really far away from Ankara and my father didn't know any english at all (I was the interpreter) but we ate together and travelled nearly the whole region.When the time came that we needed to break up,we couldn't let them there because they told us that they were going to try to hitchhike again but it was getting really dark and there were lots of rain.We took them to the nearest bus station and we bought tickets for them to arrive there in time and safer way.(Bad people exists everywhere,not because of the region actually)
After all of these,I got so emotional when I saw their eyes and they hugged me. We're still in touch with them :)
