CURRENT MISSION

To have wacky, loving, fun!

ABOUT ME

I am a filmmaker!! I love all types of film! Personally, I make animated films, and documentaries. I try to be open to new ideas, and keep evolving. I currently work in the film industry in Istanbul.

Other than film, I love music, food, architecture, books, nature, among other things. I love to meet new people, and have a great time! I love learning, and would always be open to learning about new cultures, and ways of being.

I am currently in a transitional phase, and don't have accommodation to give. But I would be happy to show people around Istanbul and show them some local hang outs.

PHILOSOPHY

Love, Embracing my passions, enjoying realizing my dreams. Always looking to be happier, and seeking new adventures, and delights.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have travelled across the United States in a group of 18 cyclists couch surfing/warm showering and camping along the way. It was an incredible experience, and I would love to continue along that path. I really enjoy meeting new people, and always surprised to see how accommodating people are. There is always so much to learn from so many people.
