Hello, I'm Merve. I am a psychology student and am graduating. I'm 22 years old. I love reading, traveling and discovering everything about the world. I am currently doing Erasmus in Portugal and I am Turkish. I would describe myself as smiling, polite and definitely clean. I prefer this place to meet new people and save my budget while traveling as a student.

It's nice and supportive to be with people who want to spend their travels economically and comfortably.

Teach, Learn, Share

As a psychology student, I take part in many academic research projects and publish. I am currently writing my thesis on memory. I also do brain imaging. I like to learn new things and I will be an academician.

I have also been involved in volunteering in civil society for 3 years, writing EU projects and giving youth trainings. I am currently the general secretary of an environmental non-governmental organization.
