CURRENT MISSION

Saving the World!

ABOUT ME

Hi! I'm someone who enjoys deep conversations about world politics, philosophy, and history—but I’m equally up for a light chat over coffee or while exploring a new neighborhood. I’ve always been fascinated by foreign cultures and languages, which led me to study political science and international relations.

After spending two years working as an EU expert at the Turkish Ministry of Customs and Trade, I realized that Ankara wasn’t quite the place for me. So I followed my heart to Istanbul—a city I felt I had to live in.

Now, I work for a United Nations agency where I do my small part in trying to unite nations, make the world a better place, and enjoy the beautiful chaos of life in Istanbul. :)

PHILOSOPHY

Well I dont think that life has an inherent meaning. People are attributing meanings to it. The meaning I attribute to life is trying to make the world a better place to live.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I can say that Couchsurfing has changed my life. Thanks to this site I've met many cool people from all around the World with whom I am still in contact. I also had the chance to host some people in Ankara and Istanbul which were quite good experiences.

Intereses

I am into music and all kinds of arts, social sciences, meeting new people, philosophy, discussing, laughing, making friends, learning, doing sports, reading...

Here is a video in which you can see me playing a traditional Turkish instrument called "baglama" https://youtu.be/HP7r_RumWW4?si=Dd_14unIAjvy_Rzg

Música, películas y libros

I have some favourite movies such as Braveheart, Men of Honor, Land and Freedom, Germinal, English Patient, The Reader etc. I especially like based on a true story movies.
I like Turkish Folk Music and Classical Music the best but listen to everything that sounds good to me.
