Hi I am Merih from Ankara, Turkey. I love meeting new people, cultures, and ways of thinking. We have a lot to teach and learn from each other.

I am an architecture student. I will be doing my internship in Porto from July to September. This will be my first "big trip" away from home. I am very excited and looking forward to arriving there.

I am very easygoing as long as I feel safe. I like to talk a lot. I like to ask questions about anything. I wonder about your idea about religion, love, politics, the meaning of life, and being an atheist. After I fell into a different culture, my interest in humankind and their millions of ideas increased. Now, I feel I am in the middle of changing, growing, and improving.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think once upon a time sc has a spirit where you can meet all amazing people share experience and teach about your culture. I am still hoping to find this spirit!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hitchhiked with a friend at a very late hour in a small town as a woman in Turkey, and this was incredible. It was a sports car with only two doors -no way of getting out unless the guys ( driver and his friend) did :)

I am willing to learn new skills from fishing to bike repair. I am always a nerd student :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my cooking skills from my culture. I love to cook, and it makes me happy when people love them. I love small hand-crafts and dancing. I would love to hear local jokes. I wonder what people of the world laugh at.
