I am a brand new psychologist, wannabe survivor.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like sharing my interests, meeting new people, new cultures, if I'm lucky making friends :)

Because of my shared flat, I cannot be the perfect host but I can be a well informed guide in İstanbul.

Interests

I have broad spectrum of interests, here is an introduction.

Since psychology is my major, I like every topic that I can include psychology in. I like reading articles about psychology, especially cognitive neuroscience related articles. In addition, I like political psychology, I think everybody should learn some of it because the personal is political. It was never my intention to go deep in gender studies but I promoted some workshops about gender equality and sustainable development so I can speak about them for hours, just don't make me :D .
Out of context, I like aviation, I like planes, I like jet engines. I like everything about that topic.

Well, of course who can say I'm not into music. We are sort of hard wired to feel that magical combination of sounds. I used to play the violin but I quitted many many times :)). I started to sing in several bands, I work with a band still. Blabla. We can talk about it later :)
