I am a 25 years old erasmus student from Istanbul, trying to travel as much as I can. I'm going to gradute this year from my university. I'm currently in Napoli for my erasmus period.

I feel like I'm an easygoing person but I can be shy to meet new people sometimes. Once I feel comfortable I will open myself up and can be very fun to hangout with. Other than that I can talk about most topics, I don't get bored easily.

I hope that I can meet great people, have interesting conversations, talk about serious and fun topics and spend quality time with lots of new people.

I also have 3 cats and I love to talk about them :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well I'm just gonna tell you to truth, Turkish Lira is terrible :D All jokes aside I'm hoping to meet great people on CS platform and have great experiences!

Interests

To name a few of my hobbies: I love animals, video games, movies, rock music, scuba diving, sea kayaking, hiking and camping etc.

I have 3 cats that I rescued from the street. I am always rescuing animals from the street. Basically I use my home in Istanbul as a foster home for pets. I think I rescued more than 20 animals to this day.

I love PC and PlayStation games a lot. I'm also a frequent movie watcher. I constantly look for new movies to watch. I like listening to rock and metal music, but I feel like I can improve my music taste by adding something new to the mix.

As for sports I'm a 2nd level SSI diver. I am aspiring to be a rescue diver as my next goal. I also love sea kayaking.

I am also always open to new experiences.

I'm not a good reader but I do love The Lord of the Rings and Siddharta, also some philosophical and historic classics like The Prince and The Epic of Gilgamesh. Lastly I just started reading the Gotrek & Felix series.

I've watched a lot of movies so I don't really have a favourite one. Schindler's List, Iron Giant, Blade Runner, The Hateful Eight, The Shining, Manchester by the Sea, No Country for Old Men, The Matrix, John Wick series etc. I think I've seen almost all Tarantino, Kubrick, Nolan, Fincher movies. The list goes on and on unfortunately :)

Deciding to be a veterinarian
Scuba diving
Road trip in Iceland

Teach, Learn, Share

I can talk about Tarantino movies for hours. I can share a lot about Turkey and Italy, and some reccomendations for great spots to visit in both them as well.

I really want to learn about hiking and camping because I feel that I need more experience about them.

Lastly I can have a heartfelt discussion about animals and animal rights. And if you have pets, I can offer a free check-up!
