Hi! I am Hande. I am half Turkish half Circassian. If I speak about myself in general I am a biology student who is lover of neuroscience and nature. I am a part time science writer and part time baby sitter. I am currently working on alcohol addiction(as an intern at Nencki Institute). I don’t drink but you can tho. It doesnt matter for me.

In my free times I like to visit museums/ go to the some art exhibition/ just lying on grass against the landscape.

My mother tongue is Turkish but I can talk with you in English.

I am generally cheerful person (who happy on everyday?) and I love sharing my happiness. There are two things that i like most: cooking and also eating. My favourite meal is breakfast -if i am not alone-.
I am open minded person so whatever you are or whatever you like what is your choice just i will respect and also understand. I have nothing to judge on earth except hate :( . Also if you want to talk i can talk but if you don’t like to talk I can be silent (for a moment).

I am new in here but who didn’t start from 0!

Ps 1: if you have art supplies i can paint something for you

Ps 2: I love to wear funny socks

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Its the best place for meeting with different people. You will stay in the same house you will talk, maybe you will share your lunch. Getting know about someone means getting familiar a culture also. I wanna learn, meet and share beautiful things with different people from whole around the world. I really want to feel lost on a street in a different city with a different person. And I want to buy fridge magnets from every country :)
