pls don’t try to flirt with me, yes you too. im just trying to be polite because this is an important virtue, kindness shouldn't be seen as flirting. if i wanna, i’d use tinder instead of couchsurfing but already love of my life is my boyfriend, so..

Hi! I’m Zeynep, I live in Turkey, and I’m a university student who loves to travel. My BA is in international relations, which is still ongoing, at Bilkent University. I am open-minded, respectful, clean, friendly, and funny (at least that's what my friends say). I love traveling, my favorite part is meeting new people, the other side is history. I like to revitalize my life and improve myself by integrating different cultures.

I would love to meet you!

Interests

I love cooking. If I'm happy I cook, if I'm unhappy I cook, if I'm stressed I cook. If I don't feel anything I cook again because we have to eat something to survive. I would be happy to cook you delicious Turkish meals.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a very mixed taste in music and my playlists are very irrelevant, if I turn it on, Rammstein, Bach, Lana Del Rey and Crimean folk songs may play one after the other.

I love cinema very much. I usually watch depressive movies, but my favorite is Tangled. But if I'm talking to an adult (probably right now) my favorite is Manchester by the Sea.
(if you wonder my taste, letterboxd:glitterzz but i can't guarantee that i have a good one..)

The books I read are generally about history or politics. It is tough to choose my favorite one but I like Japanese literature and postmodern Turkish literature, and if I am depressed, I like to read Russian literature.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After watching Eat Pray Love, I bought a ticket to Sri Lanka to stay at a temple. (already I do eat tasty foods every day dude I live in Turkey, so I skipped that part 😀) But unfortunately I'm not a Julia Roberts..
