Turkish/Cypriot//Neuroscientist//WorldTraveller//Amateur Photographer//

I'm a curious human being who loves to meet new people and to listen to their stories and share mine. After an AFS exchange year in the US during high school, I could not be contained in a single place. Luckily, attending New York University in Shanghai has allowed me to be mobile during my college years.

I swing dance and also love contact improv. I love exploring places, looking at art, journaling, and drawing. I love making things; a song, a drawing, a photograph, and idea.

I love hearing striking, new ways of living that are different from mine. I stand against ageism, sexism, racism... -isms of all kinds.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Staying with locals is always the highlight of my trips. I learn so much about the place I visit, but also adding faces to places make them so much more memorable
