IF YOU WANNA KNOW ABOUT ME
I was born in 1996 and have been living alone in my 100m² apartment in Bostanlı, İzmir since 2020. I’ve been vegan since 2018 and care deeply about animal rights. I also support LGBTQ+, refugee and women's rights and value social equality. Running is the perfect way for me to escape from routine, and I also practice yoga twice a week as a form of mental meditation. I love cooking—it’s a creative outlet for me. I have strong communication skills and am a friendly, sociable person. I’m currently pursuing my PhD in AI and have founded two startups so far. I’ve also been a speaker at various conferences and have taught engineering courses at universities.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing to connect with people from different cultures, share experiences, and learn from others. As someone who values meaningful conversations and building friendships, I believe Couchsurfing is the perfect platform to meet like-minded individuals while exploring new places. I’m excited to host and be hosted, offering a space for creativity, good vibes, and mutual respect. Whether it’s over a homemade meal, a run through the city, or a yoga session, I’m always up for making new memories and broadening my horizons.
