Hey there! 👋
I’m a friendly 😊 and curious soul 🧠 living in the magical city of Mardin 🏛️ — where history, culture, and kindness meet on every corner 🌇✨

I love meeting people from different cultures 🌍, hearing their stories 📖, and sharing laughs 😄
I truly believe that travel is not just about places, but about people 🤝

That’s why I’m on Couchsurfing — to connect 🔗, share 💬, and grow 🌱 with amazing people from around the world 🌐

I enjoy deep conversations ☕, tasting local food 🍲, walking through old streets 🏘️, and showing guests the real spirit of my city ❤️

Whether you’re into architecture 🏰, culture 🧕, or just passing through 🚶‍♂️, I’ll try to help you experience Mardin like a local 🧭

Even if I can’t host at the moment, I’m always happy to meet up 🤗, share a tea 🍵, or go for a casual city walk 🚶‍♀️

Let’s make some good memories together! 📸✨

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing because I believe the best part of travel is the people you meet along the way 👣👫

I want to share my culture 🇹🇷, learn from others 📚, and create meaningful connections that go beyond just being tourists ❤️

Hosting or meeting travelers lets me see the world through different eyes 👀 — even without leaving my city 🏡

It’s also a beautiful way to spread kindness 🤝, practice hospitality ☕, and build real friendships that cross all borders ✈️🌏

Plus… tea always tastes better with a story! ☕️📖

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One day, I met a traveler who got completely lost in the streets of Mardin 🧭
He didn’t speak any Turkish, and I didn’t speak his language fluently either — but we somehow communicated through gestures ✋, smiles 😊, and a translation app 📱

We ended up exploring the old city together 🏛️, drank tea with locals ☕, took photos 📸, and laughed like old friends by sunset 🌇

That day reminded me that you don’t need the same language to connect — just kindness and a bit of curiosity 🫶🌍

It was simple, but I’ll never forget it!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach:
I can teach you some Turkish phrases 🗣️, how to drink tea like a local 🍵, or share stories about Mardin’s hidden history 🏛️
I also love teaching people about local culture 🌍 and life in this unique city 🏙️

Learn:
I’m always eager to learn from others 🌱
I’d love to hear about your culture 🇺🇳, your language 🗣️, or any interesting experiences you’ve had on your travels ✈️
Learning is a two-way street, and I can’t wait to hear your stories 📝✨

Share:
I’d be happy to share local knowledge 🧭, my favorite places to visit 📍, and a cup of tea 🍵
More importantly, I want to share good vibes ✨, great conversations 💬, and a warm welcome to anyone passing through! 🤗

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer genuine friendship 🤝, cultural exchange 🌍, and good conversations ☕💬

As a local from Mardin 🏛️, I’d love to show you around — the old streets 🏘️, hidden spots 🗝️, amazing views 🌄, and of course, the delicious local food 🍲

I can help you experience the real side of the city — the one you can’t find on Google Maps 🧭

Whether it’s a chill walk 🚶‍♂️, a shared meal 🍽️, or a fun tea break ☕, I believe that small moments make the best memories 🫶

I’m also a good listener 👂 and always happy to learn from my guests 🌱
