I am an introvert(not shy introvert, less common chatty,friendly introvert with extroverted tendencies!) who likes travelling(obviously). I majored in Economics and currently working for a packaging company.
I'm vegan. Not an everyday cook but I quite enjoy the time I spend in the kitchen when I do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Seems having moved recently from Istanbul to a small industrial town just an hour away-for work- has activated my "wanderlust gene". I want to travel much more than I used to and also to change the way I am travelling; i.e. getting in touch with locals/residents through couchsurfing instead of staying at hotel rooms, visiting every touristic attraction.
