Hi! I’m Altyn, a friendly traveler who loves meaningful conversations, body doubling, structured social hangouts, good coffee, and discovering places through the people who live there. I’m new to Couchsurfing, but I’m excited about the idea of cultural exchange and connecting with locals in a genuine way :)
