"Come, come, whoever you are,
Wanderer, worshipper, lover of leaving,
Ours is not a caravan of despair.
Even if you have broken your vows a thousand times
It doesn’t matter
Come, come yet again, come"

Mevlana Rumi

I wanted to start with Mevlana's meaningful sentence because this words reflects my world view.

Hi! I am Erva from Istanbul. My hometown is Eskişehir, but i was born in Istanbul. I love living here, there are lots of things to do.

My home is not for someone who will go to Taksim-Sultanahmet area everyday. I live in Asia side of Istanbul, little bit out of city but there Marmaray (train) coming here. My house is for you if you want to relax, go to seaside. Sea is near to my home. If I am free of course I will join you :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

You know, when I go abroad I want to see local places and I want to see this country people, not only historical places. I want to help people who visit Turkey, also I want to know their culture. So I would be so happy if you bring some food from your country. We can exchange culture.

My fav thing is when I hear from CS friends "I did not know Turkish people were that perfect and Turkey is that beautiful"
