Hi there! I am İlayda. I love being in nature but I also love big cities with concrete jungles. I enjoy outdoor activities such as rock climbing, camping and hiking. I practice yoga (not only savasana) and I am a beginner slackliner too. Recently I started to learn flow arts (mainly poi) and it feels like my next big thing.
On another highly important note, I love dancing in any form and shape. I have been mainly training for latin ballroom dances however don't be surprised if you see me locking and popping in the club or doing improv contemporary whenever and wherever.

As you can see, I am a "jack of all trades, master of none (oftentimes better than master of one)" kinda person. However, lately I decided to not identify myself with what I do but I am trying to see myself as who I really am, and I hope to show you that.

I can consider myself a joyous and friendly person to be around (except for the mornings, I am a night owl). I like meeting interesting people across the universe and sharing some meaningful convo. HMU with your best shot!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am looking for other couchsurfers to go on adventures together and gain new experiences. I have a newly found interest in people of every point-of-view and state-of-mind. In the next year, I am taking a step off of the railroad of education and I will be taking a gap year which I am currently in the thought process of (feel free to share any of your recommendations or talk about your experience etc.) I am planning on traveling to someplace in this beautiful planet and discover more people, places, nature, cities and most importantly myself. I want to also financially support myself so if you have any ideas feel free to share them too.
