Hi! I’m Zeynep, Im 30 years old. I am a medical doctor from Istanbul working in radiation oncology. I’m married and I live with my husband and our lovely cat.

I love traveling, exploring new cultures, and planning my own trips. I enjoy discovering cities like a local rather than a tourist.

I am a really mediterranean person. I’m talkative, easygoing, and I love to laugh and enjoy good moments. Turkish food is almost like a religion for me. I love cooking and sharing it with others. I value personal space, I’m clean and organized, and I always respect house rules.

I’m a practicing Muslim and I respect all beliefs. I’m open-minded and enjoy meeting people from different cultures. Your religion, nationality, or ethnicity doesn’t matter to me. What matters to me is kindness, respect, and good connection.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing because I want to experience cities through locals, not just as a tourist. I believe the best part of traveling is meeting people, sharing stories, and understanding different cultures. For me, it’s not just about a place, but the people I meet along the way
