I was born in Istanbul, Turkey, and raised there. I studied English Translation and Interpreting in Izmir and now working in international trade. My interests are traveling, chess, fitness, and etymology. I am a licensed chess player and arbiter in Turkey. Erasmus has given me the chance to enjoy travelling and discovering the natural and historical beauty of different European cities and now I want to meet new people and visit as many cities as possible in different continents.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Stromae, NF, Foreign Air, Royal Blood, and Thylacine are my favorite singers and bands. My favorite movies are The Intouchables, The Truman Show, and Braveheart. Though I like reading and learning something new, I cannot say I am an avid fiction lover. Still, Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse is one of the books that I enjoyed reading.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have learned digital design on my own while studying and made money as a freelancer. After my first time travelling abroad to Hungary, I have visited two different countries thanks to my passion.
