Hi everyone!
I am Ilgım from Çanakkale/Turkey. I was born and raised in İstanbul then after living 25 years in that metropolitan I moved here for peace and silence :)

Currently, I am a PhD candidate and research assistant. I am a scientist and a spiritual person at the same time.

I am a wanderlust and interested in nature. In my spare time; I go trekking, alpinizm and even climb to rocks! When I am in the town I do ceramics and yoga (just started) to get rid of daily stress. When I am in the home I try different recipes for cooking, read books and take care of my house plants.

I like to go different cities and countries to widen my worldview. I like to meet new people and talk about their cultures/hobbies/rituels/experiences.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I am on Couchsurfing because it is perfect appcation for real travelers. It is the best option if anyone wants to meet locals, explore the city, and get to know different cultures. Besides, I want to meet new friends from all over the world.
