Hi, here is Begum! I'm coming from a really nice and sunny city named Izmir, located on the west coast of Turkey. Currently studying Urban Studies in Germany - I guess, you could already guess, why am I active here -.

Mostly passionate about cities and the dynamics lies within, I love learning about their unique historical and political trajectories, subcultures and alternative spots, while getting lost in the streets and catching some nice sceneries and photographs.

I previously studied Architecture, which sparked my interest in a wide range of creative fields, including design, art, crafting, photography, and make-up. Actively practicing some of these myself, I also enjoy appreciating them through exhibitions or other artistic trajectories :-)

So, would love receiving your tips or even better, to go on a common adventure. But, no pressure. I'm also quite happy to explore alone.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Making connections from various contexts, staying in touch through different mediums or visiting/being visited by them throughout several timelines, sharing/listening adventures, gaining local insights as well as networking, friendship and getting inspired by others. There are too many reasons and not all, might fit here :)

教，学，和分享

I can share the secrets behind some of the most beloved Turkish dishes with cultural insights, and we could even cook them together one evening. Before heading out to explore the city, I could offer some make-up tips and help you get ready with a creative look. If you're into sports, we could hit the beach or court and play volleyball together.
