Hello everyone! I’m Elif :) I’m passionate about making the most of my travels, always aiming to spend my time in the most enriching and memorable way possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to connect with people from all over the world and truly immerse myself in their cultures and cities. Simply visiting tourist spots doesn’t reveal the essence of a place or its way of life. To understand a culture, you need to experience it through the eyes of the people who live there—that, to me, is the real meaning of travel.
