I am a teacher living in Istanbul currently. I am an energetic and admirer person who is into learning new cultures&traditions and meeting new people, ways of living, learning their stories and also sharing mine.
There is a saying in Turkey : “The differences(in races, religions, traditions, gender differences etc.) are our richness” . I totally agree and try to live my life by getting something different that I believe will make me personally richer and extend my point of view.

🙌🙌The idea of meeting people who live in different parts of the world with different cultures, learning from them&sharing with one other is just amazing. I love diversity and get lost in exploration of this diversity. Couchsurfing gives you this chance and also the opportunity to experience the city like locals do. I had this chance while experiencing my first interrail and I loved it.

I can host travelers when I am available and join or tell them some tips to explore Istanbul. Actually I don’t like last minutes requests since I have a daily routine of doing exercises & yoga, cooking, having friends & relatives or meeting friends, but I can accept last minute requests only in case I may be available.

My route for traveling has changed a lot during Virus process. I’ve learned to adapt myself to new rules of the countries and build new plans accordingly. Unfortunately I also had to change many plans containing some dream countries and cities because of virus but still looking forward to realizing them:) And I am quite thankful and grateful for what I could do untill now🙏

👉👉And please don’t send requests or texts in purpose of dating. My being on this platform is so precious and beyond those aims. So I need to make it clear.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I did paragliding in the most amazing place ( ölüdeniz-Mugla ), dived in Red Sea, swam with colorful fish, did safari in deserts, ate snails in Morocco which I would never think about to do :) I was at the Puskás Arena in Budapest to watch Coldplay live Show. It was literally spectacular!! I watched a trio music and a couple flamenco show in historical Palau De La Musica Catalans in Barcelona and next ones are on the way :)
