Hello! I’m originally from Turkey and currently based in Nairobi, where I work with the UN. I’ve been a Yoga Instructor since 2017, and I love sharing that calm and mindful energy with people wherever I go.

Travel has shaped a big part of who I am. So far, I’ve explored Europe, Asia, and Africa, meeting amazing people and learning from each culture’s rhythm and perspective. I’m vegan 🌱 and passionate about living kindly toward animals and the planet. I care
deeply about environmental rights and sustainability.

Friendly, curious, and always open to learning, I enjoy meaningful conversations, spontaneous adventures, and quiet moments alike. Whether it’s cooking plant-based food, practicing yoga together, or exchanging stories from our journeys, I’m always happy to connect.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really enjoy meeting new people and learning from different cultures. I’m always open to cultural exchange and meaningful conversations. I love showing people around my city, sharing local stories, hidden spots, and good food. Friends often say I make a great tour guide, and I truly enjoy helping visitors feel at home and discover the best of what the place has to offer.
