Hi!

I'm Alex and with me is my girlfriend Elif. I'm Irish and she is Turkish. We are both humanities students (Elif is planning to get a PhD in Linguistics and I study Art History) who love art, film, literature and nature. We're super easy-going vegan wanna-be activists.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Elif is coming to the UK for a holiday soon and we plan to travel around, visiting cities and camping in various national parks.

We"d love to hang out with locals.

As students, we are both incredibly poor (even though we have jobs). If you can help us make our trip possible we will be forever grateful!
