My name is Özge, I am 22 years old and I study Architecture in Munich, Germany. I lived in Istanbul until I was 18. I love travelling and I don`t believe in tourism, I believe that we have to know people from different countries so that we get to know the culture, the living of people and what that country really offers you. I love chatting with people from other countries and I always prefer taking their suggestions and explore the city like a local. Other than travelling and meeting new people, I love architecture, art, music, history, books and photography. I am an animal and nature lover.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is the best way of saving the spirit of travelling. It is honest and much more fun than staying in a hotel. I`d love to get to know as many people as I can, from all around the world. Couchsurfing is the best way of sharing cultural experiences and learning about a different country.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I worked in Nepal voluntarily for a month. I worked as an English teacher for children in primary school and also for women, who took classes everyday to learn English. I stayed in Kathmandu, but also travelled in Nepal. I got to see the jungles in Chitwan and it was amazing. I met many different people from such different cultures and religions. It was one of the most unique experiences I`ve ever had.
