I am from Istanbul, Turkey. I am currently second year medical student in Koç University. I am open to new experiences and seek to improve my perspective by way of them. I really enjoy walking on city streets like a flaneur.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To be honest, I am looking for the way to travel in cheapest way and to get a real fun from it. Couchsurfing sounds great for that, because it provides a travel experience consisting a real connection with locals of the city that I visit. I also think that it is perfect to see the daily life of a different culture and to share different perspectives and experiences.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm really into literature, especially to Turkish literature. I have done minor in English Language and Comparative Literature and really got fun. I also have interest in independent art communities, unfortunately I am more like cultural consumer rather than being an artist. I really like Jim Jarmusch movies, but my favourite film is "Eternity and A Day" directed by Angelopoulos.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ah it's really sad to leave this empty. I am just 21 and hope that I can do something like whoa in my future.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Turkish, if you want. I can talk for hours about Turkish and other national literatures which might sound boring but I really get fun from talking about it. I also enjoy talking about etymology of the words and expressions in different languages

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would truly appreciate anything my host offers. I would like to bring something belonged to Turkish culture. Unfortunately, I am not good in cooking. But I am sure that I can talk about some Turkish cuisine and recipes.
