Hi! I’m Serap — an easy-going, curious, and culture-loving person from Türkiye.
I’m not hosting at the moment, but I love meeting travelers visiting my city, sharing stories, exploring around, and helping people experience the local side of Istanbul.

I enjoy checking out new spots in the city, walking in hidden streets, trying different cuisines, and learning about people’s backgrounds. If you want to grab a coffee, walk around the city, or just have a good conversation, feel free to message me.

I believe that even a short meeting can create great memories.
Looking forward to connecting with open-minded and respectful travelers! 🌍✨

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy connecting with open-minded travelers, hearing their stories, and exploring places together. Couchsurfing is a great way to meet genuine people and create friendships around the world.

Interests

I love spending my time in cultural spaces — museums, art exhibitions, theatres, ballets, operas, and musical performances always inspire me. I enjoy classical music, especially cello, violin, piano concerts, trios, and quartets, but I also love jazz nights and different types of live music. Discovering historical places, exploring new cities, and being around people energize me. I like reading, watching documentaries, and learning about different cultures. Anything that helps me grow, learn, and experience the world in a deeper way makes me genuinely happy.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movie: Midnight in Paris, Before Sunrise, Eat Pray Love, Marvel series, Fast and furious
TV shows: The big bang theory, Friends, How i met your mother, Fringe, Alcatraz, Arrow, Da Vinci’s demons
Books: I usually enjoy books about art, culture, history, and real human stories. I also like meaningful novels with emotional or philosophical depth, as well as biographies and books that teach me something new. Travel- and city-themed books, or anything that helps me understand different cultures and perspectives, are also my favorites.
