Hii, I’m 24yo woman from İstanbul, Turkey - music enthusiast, animal lover and a multimedia designer/artist who loves to dance, being in the nature.

Connections which we can dive deep and try to see and understand each other fulfills my soul. I am likely to be fascinated by the beauty of simple moments in life. I like being on the road, hitchhiking, camping and exploring around. I enjoy being a part of communities and exploring alternative way of living, it fulls me with a great motivation and hope. Whenever I find some time and possibility, I try reaching out to the sea and find the flow within me and my surroundings.

I have recently graduated from uni and took a gap year. I like to do mixed-media animations, shooting film and photographs, illustration, painting and design.

I just started learning to play bass guitar and so far it is going super fun ^^ Also, thanks to my flatmates who are into gastronomy and ecology, my interest in food getting deeper. I enjoy cooking and my plates, pastry are always a suprise. I am a very spontaneous person, following the recipe is not for me, so it can end up super delicious or pretty weird :’)

Mm, more about me.. I used to be a performance tennis player, right now I like to do sports for my joy, not to compete and I prefer yoga, dancing and swimming mostly. I am also into flow arts like juggling and staff spinning. Plus, I played ultimate frisbee in university, and loved the spirit!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet with beautiful people around, explore and share.

I will be traveling and filming on the way to Portugal from Istanbul for couple of weeks. I want to be close to the seaside as possible and would like to meet and explore around with beautiful souls 🪸
