I am a 23 years old college student from Istanbul, Turkey who loves to travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just love to travel and my previous experiences showed that visiting cities where I knew a local is much better. I love to get lost wandering cities and see great places that are not discovered by tourists yet. Some of the best places I've seen are places that I was taken by a local. Same applies for food as well. So far my Couchsurfing experiences have been simply great so I am looking forward to having more of them.

Interests

I love watching tv shows(mostly American) and movies. Occasionally go running. I like to think that I am a good cook. I like cooking and baking a lot. I also like to party or have some wine or beer with friends and chill. I alm also very into economics, politics, and history. So I guess kinda have a nerdy side as well. I try to go see plays, operas and musicals as well. And most importantly I love to travel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I probably did something cooler than this but once me and a few friends got into an old, abandoned factory in Brooklyn, NY. It was in a pretty bad shape so we had to jump over fences and had to climb through a wall and stuff. Yet it was worth it because it had the most amazing view of Manhattan. So we stayed there and enjoyed the view till 3 am or something.

I stand corrected, I swam with whale sharks. Coolest thing I have ever done.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer a fun time. An opportunity to get to know Turkish culture/history/politics and myself. I am down to just staying at home chilling for the night or to go out and get wild.
