NEW HERE 🌍

I’m a curious and compassionate female solo traveler! working remotely in marketing, which gives me the freedom to explore the world.

I travel not to collect places, but to connect with people, cultures, and ideas. I love to learn through experience, ask big questions, and challenge clichés. If you love storytelling, poetry, politics, or even just sitting in silence watching the world pass by — we’ll probably get along well.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Because I believe in slow travel, in shared tea and deep conversations. I want to understand how people live, what they love, and what they struggle with. Couchsurfing feels like a way to resist algorithmic travel and return to something more human.

音乐、电影和书籍

I’m into music that feels like it’s lived a few lives — anything from Georgian polyphony to Radiohead, from old Turkish ballads to lo-fi techno.
Books: I love poetry, postcolonial literature, feminist theory, and anything that breaks form. I don’t really have a single favorite book. I studied sociology, so I’m deeply drawn to social theory, special-topic books, and those that ask complex questions. Some of the books I’ve explored lately include works on education systems, power structures, feminism, and Marxist thought — often prompted by my own curiosity.
I also have a deep respect for Russian literature — not just the greats like Dostoyevsky or Tolstoy, but the emotional depth and philosophical weight of that entire literary tradition.
One novel that stayed with me is Gülün Adı (The Name of the Rose) — its layered narrative and historical insight still haunt me in the best way.

I’m drawn to films that feel more like poems or psychological maps than linear stories. I love cinema that disturbs gently, that whispers more than it screams.
Some films that have marked me deeply:
• Persona – a study of identity, silence, and the feminine psyche,
• Suspiria – horror as ritual, color, and chaos,
• The Wizard of Oz – on the surface, a children’s classic; beneath, a surreal exploration of illusion, control, and the longing for home.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I once took part in an EU project in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where I worked with local and immigrant children using non-formal education methods. It wasn’t just about teaching — it was about listening, connecting, and sharing tools for expression. Many of the children were living in difficult conditions, and the experience reminded me how powerful empathy, creativity, and play can be — especially across language and cultural barriers. It was one of those rare moments where travel, learning, and purpose came together.

教，学，和分享

I can teach you a bit about Turkish and Balkan culture, digital marketing, feminist politics, and how to make the perfect Turkish coffee!
I’d love to learn about your daily life, your favorite local spots, and how you see the world.
And I love to share stories — the kind that stay with you long after the trip ends.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I can bring stories, questions, reflections, and probably something sweet from the last place I visited. I love to cook or help in the kitchen, and I’ll always respect your space like it’s my own.
