Hi, this is Büşra. I’m originally from Turkey. I am teacher of English and Turkish languages 👩🏻‍🏫
At the moment, I’m doing a voluntary work for the youth houses in Pori and I love it! 🫶🏻

One thing I enjoy a lot during my travels is hearing a new language. I always try my best to grasp the words and use them while shopping. So people think I am a local first, then it becomes a harmless and fun joke every time 😁

I survive with curiosity of new skills.. each year I like learning new sports skills. So far, I’ve enjoyed swimming, running, diving, tennis, cycling, rowing, archery, canoeing, and ice skating.
🏊🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🤿🎾🚴‍♀️🚣🏻‍♀️🏹⛷️🛶⛸️

I have a Canon 700d camera and it was my best friend during my travels for some years. I enjoy taking landscapes, sunsets and portrait photography. My delulu side dreams having my own home photo exhibition one day, I guess why not!! 🤩📸

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Connecting with lives that I didn’t even know they existed.
I have been on this app for a while now, but never had the chance or courage to do coach surfing so far. I am turning 30 soon, and feel like it is time to have this true spirit experience 🦋

Teach, Learn, Share

I love sharing what I know. Probably a teacher habit.. so it could be the sports that I tried, photography, some basic things from Turkish, and most importantly cooking Turkish dishes 🧑🏻‍🍳
