About Me

Working in Warsaw, but my heart still thinks having a nomad life, hopefully it will happen soon!

Born and raised in Ankara, now collecting fridge magnets, stories, and embarrassing dance moments around Europe. Friendly, polite, honest, and always curious to learn how people in other cultures drink their coffee and complain about the weather.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because hotels are boring, and conversations with new people are the best part of travel. I love sharing stories, coffee, local tips, and seeing cities through your eyes while helping you feel at home.

If you need a dance partner, a tea buddy, or someone to wander around with while taking random photos, send me a message. Let's share a good conversation and some laughs!

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I once went for "just one drink" at a Couchsurfing meetup and came back with friends from five countries.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I’ve surfed couches in Paris, Brussels, Berlin, and across Poland, and often join Couchsurfing hangouts wherever I go. It’s like having family everywhere,.
