Hey there! I’m Elif, a curious soul currently doing my master’s in Economics in Italy 🇮🇹 I love deep convos, spontaneous adventures, and laughing at the most random things. I’m open-minded, respectful, and always up for learning something new (or teaching something cool in return!).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Not just for a place to crash—I’m here to connect, share stories, and see the world from someone else’s perspective.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moved twice to a new country alone for grad school and survived (so far 😅). Every day feels like a mini adventure here!

Teach, Learn, Share

Can teach you some Turkish phrases that’ll impress locals 🇹🇷 I’d love to learn about your culture, fav foods, or random facts you know. And of course—open to share stories, good vibes, and maybe a meal :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Respectful company, meaningful convos, and if you’re lucky, some Turkish snacks I smuggled in my suitcase 😄
