Hi I'm Melisa from Turkey. I'm 24 years old. I graduated from Bilkent University in this year and my department was Political Science and Public Administration. I have been working in IGAM(Research Centre on Asylum and Migration) as a volunteer. I'm learning Japanese (B1) and Spanish(A2)

I have been different countries so far and I want to see more . Meeting new people and experiencing the different cultures had teach me a lot.

I'm an animal lover and environmentalist. Before my graduation I was Chief of Human Resources of Globe (Bilkent environment society) Moreover, this year so this september i started veterinary medicine college which gives distance education (Anatolian University). I'm really willing to learn different things and cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I visited lots of contries ; Australia, France, Hungary, Czech Republic, Romania, Netherland, Spain, Belgium and Japan. When I think about all my trips, I think Japan is my favorite one because I have always an interest about Japanese culture and language. When I was a child, visiting or living in Japan was a dream for me. This year I visited Japan with my cousin and it was the best experience for me. Trying Japanese food, learning new things about Japanese culture and talking japanese with native people was very significant chance for me.

I want to learn new things about people and cultures. Moreover, I want to host people from foreign countries and I believe that it will be a good experience for both of us.
