Hi there! I’m Nergiz, a 21-year-old traveler and culture enthusiast from Turkey. I believe that every journey is a new chapter, filled with the excitement of meeting unique people and exploring diverse ways of life. I’m a big fan of learning different cultures and meeting new people. So that I chose studying on psychology to understand people more and more.

One of my biggest joys in life is food tasting! I love experimenting with new recipes, and I’m always curious about local flavors when I travel. I think food is one of the best ways to connect with people and understand their culture, so don’t be surprised if I offer to try to learn your favorite local dish.

I speak Turkish and English and ı am always eager to learn a few words in the local language, even if I sound funny trying! I’m an easygoing person who values meaningful conversations, laughter, and shared experiences. Whether we’re exploring hidden corners of a city, swapping stories over coffee, or just taking it slow and enjoying the moment. As people said, I am a good listener and learner!

If you’re looking for a guest who is respectful, curious, and loves a good adventure, I think we’d get along great. Let’s make some unforgettable memories together!''

Currently, I am staing in Poland, Bydgoszcz. My main purpose in here is learning different cultures, meeting people who can introduce their culture, and travel as much as I can!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet people who are interested to learn other cultures especially in my erasmus, and after. And also enjoy!

Music, Movies, and Books

I have so mixed music style. I love listening rock, pop, rap, classical, alternative... Different musics for different moods. (If I had to pick one, I love listening to boomer-style rock). :))) Let me tell you some of singers/groups that I listen: HIM(favorite), Scorpions, Metallica, The Mamas and Papas, Remmstein, Artric Monkeys, Queen, Nirvana, The Last Shadow Puppets, Red hot Chili Peppers, Evanscence...

I like reading personal development books, pyschological books, and Turkish Classics.

My movie knowledge isn't very broad, but I’ve watched a lot of Marvel movies and enjoy Tarantino’s films. I find different genres to be quite educational. If you have any recommendations, I'd love to check them out!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a deep interest in exploring diverse religious beliefs, spiritual practices, and rituals from around the world. Learning about the unique ways different cultures and faiths connect with the divine, along with their approaches to life and philosophy, truly fascinates me. This curiosity drives me to understand how various traditions shape individual perspectives, values, and approaches to finding meaning in life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I enjoy exploring new cultures and perspectives, and I love sharing stories and ideas from my own background as well. I'm a good listener, always open to learning from others, and I genuinely enjoy connecting with people. Plus, my curiosity for new experiences and different ways of life makes me enthusiastic about sharing all kinds of interesting topics and ideas with my hosts.
