Overview
About Me
I am a landscape architect also a master student recently. My international experience has started in 2009, When I went to United States for a year when I was 18. I realised that I loved to meet people from the world and international vibes. Everybody has a story and it's just my favourite activity to listen them. And cultures!?Man, this world is a mosaic and you can only see a few of the colours. Isn't it a beautiful thing to see different colour in the whole world mosaic every time you meet someone?
So..
I live in Istanbul now. Trying to survive in this chaotic city but I love challenges anyway!
Should tell you this I am a real gemini :) don't get away, we are freaking fun and clever besides our moody moods :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I am out of bias about the people, I've heard too many stories and my point of view is a way developed then It was before cs. My references is not too many because my travel buddy was contacting with hosts or guests usually. I will use this platfrom more because I loved about how Italians were warm blooded and crazy drivers :) , how Germans were wise and fun at the same time, how Norwegians were really hospitable contarary to popular myth... I was surprised when I saw that Polish like shisha :) or I was happy to host Mexican guy (Angel) who was really kind and social to my friends etc. etc.
Interests
I love eating but love more trying new food, restaurants or cuisines.
I like night-outs or picnics in the park.
