Hey you,

I am 31 yo, born and raised in the beautiful lands of Türkiye. I have moved to Germany, when I was 19, for my university studies. I hold a bachelor degree in industrial engineering and management as well as master degree in chemical and process engineering. Now, I work and live in Frankfurt am Main.

I am an open minded person and interested in cultural exchange as well as social interaction. This way I aim to unterstand the outer world around me.

I consider myself as a calm person in general. It doesn't mean that I don't enjoy partying. I just live the things at slow pace and keep the balance. I enjoy taking actions spontaneously.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel, explore and experience. During the years I was active in international student associations I travelled to many places, hosted students and was hosted by the students. This made me realize that you have to interact with the locals to truly explore and experience a country and its culture. Moreover, I enjoyed travelling alone and finding people to hang out in the destination.

I have also hosted peopl on Couchsurfing, while I was living alone. Ever since, I started to live in shared flats, it became a bit diffucult but I try my best to host.

I was not active for some yeras due to the transition from student life to working life and lots of moving. Now I feel like I am settled down a bit and can start getting active again!

Interests

Dance is one of my passions. I love dancing salsa, bachata, kizomba and tango. Thereforefore I try to go to dance parties whenever I travel somewhere. Besides that I regulary do sport and follow a healthy lifestyle. I am totally a foodie, eat almost everything and love trying out new things.

I like, no matter what, learning new things and develop myself. So I enjoy going museums, exhibitions, reading and discussing.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to any kind of music if it sounds nice to me ;) Hovewer I must admit that I am not a fan of hard rock and metal. As you can guess I love latin music!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did a social internship in Peru in summer 2013. Together with 13 trainees from different countries I organized workshops with secondary school students about environmental responsiblity. It was amazing to see how we achieved creating an awareness among the students. For this I lived 7 weeks in Lima and I was hosted by a local family. It was nice becoming a part of them.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to dance and cook Turkish food. I would like to share my experience of living abroad and travelling. You can also practice language with me ( Turkish, English, German and Spanish, although Spanish is not my strength), do sports, have deeper conversations about politics and history. I am open to sharing and learning together, so any suggestions are welcome! :)
