⚠️⛔COUCHSURFING IS ABOUT CONNECTING WITH PEOPLE THROUGH HOSTING AND SURFING. IT IS NOT FOR FREE LOADERS WHO ONLY WANT FREE ACCOMODATION⛔⚠️ 🌳🌳🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿 ABOUT ME 🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌳🌳 Hi! My name is Irene. I'm currently living and working in Eskişehir, Türkiye. I lived in Yogyakarta, Indonesia for almost 9 years but I'm originally from Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia. Then I moved to Europe in 2017 and lived there in 3 countries for 2 years. Then I moved to Bosnia and living around Balkan countries (Eastern Europe) for 2 years before moving to Turkey in December 2021. Here's an overview about me: ✅ I'm a musician (I play the clarinet, piano, drums, saxophone, ukulele, and I'm a singer too) ✅ An ESL teacher ✅ A music teacher ✅ A gamer (also professionally) ✅ Dog lover ✅ Movie Buff ✅ ENFJ - A 🚧🚧🚧🚧🚧🚧🚧🚧🚧🚧🚧🚧🚧🚧🚧🚧🚧🚧🚧🚧🚧🚧🚧🚧🚧 💚Things I love doing💚 Playing PC Games! (Mostly FPS like CS:GO, COD, or GTA). I'm quite competitive, hehe. I love playing music, watching movies, traveling, capturing the moments digitally, karaoke, Yoga, trekking or mountain hiking, and I'm always up for a new experience, or even just to sit in a corner over a drink to talk about separating emotion and rationality, lol. Give me any games to challenge me, say card games, board games, mind games whatever, and watch me become delightfully competitive! haha! I'm into languages and psychology. I'm a sucker for intellectual and deep conversation. I love a good laugh and I'm always up for jokes and partying. I'm fond of 9gag, memes, sarcasm jokes, Disney and, occasionally, trolling. (It's such a weird combination, right). I really wanna do bungee jumping, paragliding, and jumping from the airplane!! 🙅🏼♀️🚫Things I hate/dislike/avoid🚫🙅🏼♀️ ⛔ People with superior attitude and people with no manners. ⛔ Gossips or gossiping! With all superficial judgments about others, gossips can go wrong and turn into self-righteousness and cause unwarranted harm. Sometimes the talk is malicious and comes from something less than a clean conscience. Imo, gossiping usually comes from jealousy and it is just a pathetic way to make yourself look better. I prefer a straight forward approach. ⛔ Close-minded people I just can not get along well with this kind of people no matter how hard I try. This includes people who are very uptight, boring, cold (yea all these stereotypical attitudes usually come around). ⛔ People who litter!! I think it is such a low attitude to leave your OWN garbage/trash for other people to pick up/clean. It's a small thing that everyone should be taught from a very young age. The mentality of the people who litter is just disgusting and I can't fathom or get along with this kind of mentality. ⛔ All kinds of forms that initiate to mock, bully, belittle, downgrade someone. Unless you know the person well and you only do these things in a joking, fun way. 🌳🌳🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿 Philosophy 🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌳🌳 ✿ Happiness is all that matters ✿ Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up. ✿ Be as open-minded as possible and think from many sides ✿ Success is getting what you want. Happiness is liking what you get. Also when you wanna ask me to host you, message me with the opening line: Ahoy Irene. Then I know that you read my profile before sending me a request! If not, I wouldn't consider hosting you. I really think that you need to put a little effort at least to read your host's profile. And please read my home section about my hosting condition.

Hi, this is Güven and Evrim from Turkey, We are so excited about travelling and discovering other lives... CURRENT MISSION At this moment all I want to do is to travel other countries (in future, with my daughter and make her a world citizen.) ABOUT ME I'm 44 years old single dad, I have a daughter 8 years old. Also I have 2 cats that we called Silly and Hercules(now they passed away, RIP guys). I've been working as teacher since 2007. I want to travel the world but my salary is not enough for this but I'm doing that as possible. Especially for my daughter. I don't believe God(s), I believe people, I hate borders and nationalities. For me there is two kind of people in the world: "Good and bad ones". I'm trying to be one of good ones. I define myself as a world resident. Not a Turkish, not a Muslim, Christian, Budist. I'm an only simple humanbeing. I HAVE NO LABEL! About hosting requests Guys, please mention my name at least when you write a message, I really don't like copy paste messages. If you have less than 10 references (I mean hosting and surfing references, not personal ones) I want one confirmation at least. (Preferably ID confirmation) Or a detailed Instagram profile would work too. I also don't like people who are only looking for a free room. If you will just come and stay at your room, it makes me feel like a fool. But of course if u have to deal with something (remote job or something else) and let me know it on your request, I don't mind it. If you have never hosted before, I consider u as a "sponger". But if you're travelling the world for a long period and if you don't have a chance to host people, it is ok, my house's doors are open for u. If you will come here with someone and you don't have a mutual account, you have to share his/her profile too. Please mention my daughter's name Masal on your request so I can understand you've really read my profile. Please write something personal. "I want to learn about your culture, I want share my travels" etc. I find these kind of messages very cliche. PHILOSOPHY I always say, "if you don't go, you can't see. If you don't see, you don't know. So hit the road!!!"
A fellow traveler, love hiking and camping in wilderness. Currently doing a digital backpacking trip across Turkey. Working remotely as a software engineer in cozy cafes, and exploring the city and nearby nature in my free time.
