ABOUT ME

I started my own cafe in Kadıköy two years ago, and in the evenings I play Irish and Balkan music in Taksim.

I taught myself to play the fiddle, mandolin, whistle, and I sing both Balkan and Celtic music in Turkish and English, etc.

My husband and I recently started another cafe in the south of Turkey, in Datça. We spend half the year there, and half the year in Istanbul.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is better when simple.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to couchsurfer, but have met many travelers through a shared interest in music. I encourage people in Istanbul to come to my cafe in Kadıköy to play music, and get information about other musical gatherings and events.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

My husband's best friend was a rabbit named Bıdık; every day he would make a new shelter for the rabbit, inside and outside. It was amazing to watch these two together.
