About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See the world in the most original way possible, share stories, enjoy unusual culinary experiences

ABOUT ME

Photographer, music-listener, food-eater, student-studier...

I am currently living in Turkey for 4 months as part of my study abroad experience. I chose Istanbul because it is one of my favorite cities and I had always wanted to go back since visiting it for the first time 3 years ago. Turkey is also a fascinating country that is really changing right now, and I wanted to somewhat experience this process. And finally, Turkey is a perfect place for travelling! Very centrally located to travel, whether East, West, North or South. So far, haven't been disappointed :)

PHILOSOPHY

"You are what you eat"

"Always live in the moment"

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just joined and am looking to couchsurf, but hope to give back!

I am currently subletting a room in an apartment that is not my own, so I do not have a couch readily available... However, I can absolutely meet you over coffee to share insight on Istanbul and travelling in general!
