Hi! I’m Elif, a curious traveler who loves meeting new people, experiencing different cultures and sharing stories. I studied psychology and work as a psychological counselor at a middle school.
In my free time I enjoy dancing -with a deep love for Latin dances and high heels- listening to music, spending quality time with myself and of course, traveling whenever I can.💃🏼
I love dreaming, having deep conversations and sharing experiences. I’m married and my husband also shares my passion for exploring the world whenever we get the chance.
I believe that every person and every place has something beautiful to teach me.✨

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

What I love most is that I’m still in touch with many amazing people I’ve met through CS and my travels. It’s so beautiful to realize that no matter where we are in the world, there are people who feel the same way — who dream, get excited and share the same curiosity about life. That’s what keeps me inspired to be part of this community😊

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is definitely a big part of my life. I don’t really stick to one genre- I listen to anything that touches my soul. If it has a good melody and good energy, I’m in! But especially Latin melodies that instantly make me want to dance💃🏼
I love reading, especially books related to psychology — both for personal and professional growth. I also enjoy Russian literature. There’s something powerful and timeless about those stories.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach basic Turkish language and share insights about traveling in Türkiye and the other countries I’ve visited. I’d be happy to cook a traditional Turkish dish and share stories from my journeys.
Also, I can teach you some basic dance moves — just for fun!💃🏼

I’m eager to learn about your culture, language and local traditions. I also enjoy exchanging ideas about psychology, life experiences and personal growth.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share stories from my travels, conversations about life, psychology and cultures. I’d be happy to cook a traditional Turkish dish for you, teach you some Turkish words or help with anything you might need during my stay.
I always try to bring a positive vibe, respect the space and make the experience enjoyable for both sides. Also I’m more than happy to share laughter, kindness, and good memories ✨
