I am a medical student at the Koç University. I am a member of the European Medical Students' Association and an assistant of the European Integration and Culture pillar. I love to meet new people and experience new cultures. I was born in the US but since 15 years I have been in Istanbul. I am in love with my city and I know the perfect spots. Traveling is an essential for me. Since I have known myself I have been traveling with my parents or traveling with my friends. I have been to many cities and I have had many foreign friends but I am aware that my experiences are only the tip of the iceberg.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that every person has a unique story. Couchsurfing is a great opportunity to meet new people from all around the globe and listen to unique stories while making unforgettable memories. I want to make friends and share memories with people from different cultures and different places. I want to expand my perspective with different point of views and maybe introduce another state of mind to a new friend. My main objective is to socialize, travel and make precious memories with new people.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Even though I am still too young, I do believe that I have some entertaining memories and interesting stories that I can share with hosts. I can also share interesting facts about the brain and human anatomy. I can play the guitar in a modest way so I can share my culture over music. Overall I am an optimistic person and although it might seem cringe I can share my positive energy :)
