Hi everyone,

I'm a student, currently living in Berlin and grew up in Istanbul. My major is art history of Africa and my minors are art history of Europe and philosophy. My main interests are art, fashion and design. I also run a blog on these subjects, you can also get a hint of my personality, which is edankb.blogspot.com.

I can sum up myself as a curious and calm person - so, I won't be trouble for you :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I already stated the fact that I'm curious, I want to expand my knowledge about life and world through many things, one of the most enjoyable way is travelling of course. I have the courage to step out of my comfort zone and I can prove that with my latest major act, moving to Berlin from Istanbul in October 2014.

I also want to meet couple people, while travelling because I'll be mostly alone on the road and if you would like to share your wisdom, I'm waiting to hear more.
