Studying science and engineering; interested in politics, history, languages, and traveling too.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

As an EEE student at Bilkent, my time is spent entirely in the laboratories and the library. Resultantly: even though I have been in Turkey for over an year, I haven't gotten to see many places or pick up much Turkish.

The realization that I had been missing out on so much in life by not traveling came in rather late, but I am determined to make up for it now. Getting to see new places and meet new people is definitely a good way to kill time.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

What I Could Teach:
A language that I know or am learning; how to cook foods from my part of the world; anything about science, engineering, politics, history, languages, culture, or anything and everything else.

What I'd Love to Learn:
I have only a couple more months left in Turkey, so I am really making an effort to learn Turkish. I'd also love to know what places you'd recommend in your surroundings that are worth paying a visit to. Also interested in learning anything about Turkish cuisine, and your experiences with living, learning, traveling, and adding new aspects to your life.

What I Could Share:
See the next section below.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

Cook for them (have them try Pakistani/South Asian food), take them out, teach them cool words/phrases from other languages, share my experiences with other countries and cultures, talk until they can no longer follow along, and tell them how wrong they are politically (last one's a joke).
