"Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans" -John Lennon

Hey there! I am Ebru, 24, currently graduated from dental school and still unemployed :D l am in love with world and interested in its cultures and history, addicted to travelling!

After travelling a lot especially in Europe, I recognised that beautiful architecture and some fancy squares are not enough for me to be impressed! Living in a city like İstanbul and having 16 million people breathing the same air with me is also chaotic sometimes. I just know that I want to see and feel the nature more and I'm pretty sure my next stops will be in Asia with some breathtaking nature.

I consider myself as a minimalist and try to live and travel as one for a long time and trying to be more productive as I know only thing what precious is time. I am into many kinds of visual arts and I try to improve my knowledge and skills about performing arts, too. Actually, I can say I love learning about literally anything!

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

CS is an awesome way to greet with great people! I believe learning online or reading some books are not enough to improve ourselves. Spending time with people who are completely stranger to us means sharing experiences and in my opinion this is what we need most!

Musik, Filme und Bücher

Movies: My favourite director is Wes Anderson! I literally watched everything that he made. Even the commercials :D Also Before Sunrise, A Seperation, The Help are some movies I love but If you are interested in cinema, you can check my letterboxd profile https://letterboxd.com/ebtez/

Music: I love listening bands like Tame Impala, Joy Division, Radiohead, Kings Of Leon etc. But the thing is I really really love dancing with reggaeton and also mostly listen it. But recently I am into techno music and parties :)

Books: Siddhartha by hermann hesse, metamorphosis by franz kafka, chess story by stefan zweig, animal farm by george orwell, of mice and men by john steinbeck, a room of one's own by virginia woolf are some books that I love. But to be honest, I mostly choose books from the lists like must-read, 100 books to read before die :D And of course series of harry potter(oh my dear childhood!)

TV Shows: Friends, Dark, Grey's anatomy, Black mirror, Shameless, This is us, Rick and morty and many predictable ones cause sometimes I binge-watch. Sometimes.
