Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find joy in exploring cultures and each trip provides me many unique experiences.
As a student, I'm eager to learn, experience and create more so travel holds a special place.
Despite being on a tight budget, I embrace the challenge of finding affordable ways to travel, knowing that it often leads to more authentic experiences.
I just love meeting new people and making connections that feel real. Hearing their stories, sharing laughs, and building friendships along the way is what makes my travels extra special. It's all about those genuine connections that make the journey so much richer and more fun.

Music, Movies, and Books

As a literature student, narrowing down my favorite books is quite challenging , but I can discuss about them till eternity. As for music, I do,
Iike almost everything… but I do have a few favorite albums that I'm currently listening to, like "4 Women No Cry" volumes 1, 2, and 3. And when it comes to movies, Coraline is my go-to answer especially considering its unique stop-motion artistry and the nostalgic connection I have to it from my childhood.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm always up for a good book chat and eager to gain new knowledge. As a student with a strong interest in psychology and literature, I'm also ready to dive into academic discussions if that's your thing. Outside of academia, I love sharing music and movie recommendations and engaging in lively conversations about them. I can also cook traditional Turkish dishes and sharing cultural things…. You'll find me to be quite the chatty person, so if you're up for it, we can chat for hours about anything.

On another note, I'm a neat person and take great care of people's belongings, so you can trust me to treat them with the greatest of care.
