Hi, I am Elif. I just graduated from Istanbul Technical University, Department of Architecture. Before starting my professional life, I want to fulfill a dream of mine and travel Europe this summer. I really like to meet new people and experience new cultures. Also i do photography as a hobby. I have an instagram account for my photo works. ( @elifozturkk_photo ) I currently living in Istanbul. My native language is Turkish but i can speak advanced level English, too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I visit a city, I want to experience how local people live. I don’t like to travel as a tourist. And i am using this application where I can get to know new cultures closely and meet people who have a more different life than me.

Music, Movies, and Books

My taste in music can change all the time, but right now I'm addicted to electro and rock music. I love sci-fi movies especially Inception. Also I love dystopian and mysterious sci-fi books. I also like to read poetry and make abstract paintings by being influenced by them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I never get tired when it comes to traveling. I'm going on my first solo trip this summer in Europe

Teach, Learn, Share

I can interpret the city through the eyes of an architect and we can chat about architecture, art, photography.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can tour the city together and experience the city with the interaction of different cultures. My friends always say that I am a friendly and compatible person. I'm sure we will have a good time with my positive energy.
