Happy to host and really excited to finally travel somewhere. Since I was born I changed various cities and village. Now i live in Istanbul, but I try to escape whenever I can! I was a math teacher for 8 years. At first I can only travel on holidays. I quit my job this year and started my trip this year.

In June 2022 I decided to go on a 1 year sabbatical. During my holidays as teacher, I traveled a while across my country and then across Europe, where I am right now. I went to Albania, Serbia, Kosovo, Montenegro, Bosnia, Germany, France, Austria, Belgium, Georgia, Hungary, Romania, Czech Republic. Now it's time to put new countries on the list!

After a variety of volunteering projects and some traveling, currently still wandering and seem to have forgotten about going back to that career.

I love nature (mountains, seas, rivers, islands, trees). I am a nomad and I want to travel the world with my friends. I feel lucky because I can do for now. I walk a lot and I really enjoy the mountains, forests, lakes, beaches and every natural places, but I also like museums, cities, parks and meeting people.

I am in the search for new adventures and experiences, keen to listen to your stories!
Hope you are interested in hosting or meeting me!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I'm traveling across several countries and cities, staying at hostels, friend's houses and house/pet sitting. Hotels and hostels are classics, so i am here to exchange our visions. I think couchsurfing is good to know people that live in the places and can really tell me about the life there, in addition to share experiences, other things and talks. It is a really good opportunity to be a part of their community, I appreciate that a lot. I am here to connect with people worldwide. To gain a better perspective of understanding other cultures. And of course, for the good times!!

Couchsurfing isn't just a free accommodation for me, I love to explore foreign cultures and share mine.

兴趣

I love to know places and people walking around everywhere. I can spend the entire day out in a city, parks, beaches or other natural environments. I like to take photos of buildings, streets, animals and nature. I think there is a lot to see and know and I don't want to stay in the same place, I get bored.

Now I'm also interested in sustainability, healthy lifestyle and climate change and I want to redirect my professional career in those topics.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I left my job to travel : )

教，学，和分享

Whatever i can do, i can also teach it! I can teach maths, but I don't think you are interested in that... But we can talk about everything. I like to watch movies and TV series, read books and learn about art, science and anything in general. For me, the best plan is getting out walking, drinking, eating, just having fun!
