I am Leo and I live in Istanbul since September. I would say I am a very open and humorous person that is easy to get along with right away. I’ve lived in different countries before and like connecting with people from all over the world. I like going out for drinks and will be very happy to show you around Istanbul if time allows .

I really want to travel to Central Asia and also more in the Middle East (but not possible atm unfortunately)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting international people and get to know new cultures, and through meeting locals a new city becomes a whole different experience unlocking places and corners I would probably not end up in.

As my hosting concerns my roommate moved out so having people in the apartment from time to time would be fun
