Hey, I’m Helin, a 22 year old literature student in Izmir, Turkey. I’m from Istanbul, and just returned from my erasmus, from Spain. Travelling is my passion. I love poetry, cinema, art in every form in general. I like to write as well, but I wouldn’t call myself a writer, I think. I live with my boyfriend, and we have a cat together, Dante. I’m also an analog photographer.
I’m fairly new at this app, that’s why free to check my instagram or to dm me: @eylxlhelin

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Because I love meeting with new people, sharing little things, having conversations, and get to know new cultures, I’ve stayed at hostels before, but being friends with people who are also traveling is one thing, I wanted to try to also get to know people who are local, it brings a whole new perspective to traveling for me :)
I also offer my house for stay, but please note that I will not be answering any messages which are not personal, or only texting me to find a place to spend the night.
