I have opened my account 10 years ago but just started using it, thats why I dont have so many references! You can find more from ig: @sevinjohn

Hello! I am Sevincan, you can call me SJ. By profession I'm a landscape architect and a dancer; contemporary dance, latin dances etc. Also I'm certified Yoga, Pilates, Fitness Teacher, Functional Trainer and Capoeira instructor. I have been working as a trainer for more than 7 years in fitness and health field; helping people connecting with their body and mind together through dance and movement. Additionally I have experience in hospitality jobs.

I love to learn new things and share my knowledge with others. This is what drives me in life. I'm a really good communicator with people and animals. Related to that I was a team member for 6 months in İzmir, ''People & Animal Search and Rescue'' Team. -plus I'm a nature lover with gardening experience. I have some photography experiences also, so I can help you with that!

My dream: Building my own house and garden someday...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I didn't have the courage for a solo travelling until now. Starting from November I will travel around South Asia and I am hoping that will be only the beginning. That's why I need a community just like this. So I can meet locals around the world and be a guest in their world. This is the best way to get to know others and communicate with them; this is the way so I can see the world through their eyes.

I opened my account 10 years ago. But I didn't do anything about it until now. I was feeling so nervous about traveling to the age of 30.
BUT!
Travelling around the world was my childhood dream. I always wanted to get to know people from all over the world and learn their cultures. Learn their traditional dances! So please help me to become a surfer 🙏

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
I don't have any favorite for a music, I only know I can dance any of them! And believe me, I will.

Movies:
There are so many great movies... I also can't pick. But here is one:
-Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring
Altough I have a couple of favorite directors such as Yorgos Lanthimos, Miyazaki, Guy Richie, Pedro Almodovar, Celine Song, Christopher Nolan...
Im in love with Harry Potter series since I was a little kid. Also I found Matrix prodigy very logical.
I'm much of an Anime lover. So sorry to One Piece fans but my all time favorite will be always Naruto...

Books:
I'm into human psychology, I love to read about this topic. Also I love fantastic readings since I was a kid.
Anita Blake was one of my favorite characters. Here is couple books that comes up to my mind:
Jonathan Livingston the seagull, The Alchemist, The Narrow Road to the Deep North (this book might be a bucketlist trip in the future). There are couple of Turkish writers such as Nermin Bezmen, İnci Aral, Barış Bıçakçı.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
