Hi there!
​I am an Istanbul local, born and raised in this unique city. At 35, I am currently on a journey to explore the world. So far, I’ve traveled to more than 180 cities across a large part of Europe and Asia.
​I have a deep love for nature and animals; being outdoors brings me peace. Exploring different cultures, meeting new people, and sharing stories are what I enjoy most. I also love cooking and discovering new flavors.
​I value sincerity, honesty, and the true spirit of traveling. I look forward to meeting fellow travelers and sharing our experiences somewhere around the globe!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that the best way to discover a city is through the eyes of a local. I'm here to meet authentic people, share travel stories, and build cross-cultural friendships. For me, it's not just about a place to stay, but about meaningful human connection.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling to over 180 cities across Europe and Asia has been an incredible journey. Seeing the transition of cultures, landscapes, and traditions across these two continents is the most amazing thing I have ever experienced."

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my travel experiences and tips about the 180+ cities I've visited. I love cooking and can teach you how to make some traditional Turkish dishes. I’m always open to learning about new cultures and local life hacks from you.

What I Can Share with Hosts
