Hello! I'm Buse from Turkey.
I’m passionate about discovering new cultures and connecting with people from all around the world. A while ago, I had the chance to live in Finland through a volunteering program — it was a truly unique and eye-opening experience that deepened my love for travel and intercultural exchange.

I study Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, but beyond tech and research, my heart is always drawn to new places, languages, and stories. My dream is to travel to every country in the world — yes, literally every single one! Even though it sometimes feels like a big challenge, I always keep that dream alive with hope and excitement.

And what could be better than meeting locals and fellow travelers along the way? I believe every person I meet has something valuable to share. So if you're up for good conversations, shared meals, or just a friendly connection, I’d be happy to meet you!

I post travel stuff — follow me if you like getting lost in new places (on purpose)!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Getting to know new people and exploring different cultures is a truly meaningful part of my life. That’s why I find the idea behind this platform so inspiring — a space where people open their homes to travelers, share their stories, and expect nothing in return.
What a beautiful concept!

After all, doesn’t every new home feel like entering a whole new world?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Coming to a country I knew nothing about, without telling almost anyone, was one of the most spontaneous and meaningful decisions I’ve ever made. It felt like jumping into the unknown — and somehow, it made me feel more alive, more connected to myself and the world around me.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach:
I can teach you how to say some fun (and possibly dramatic) things in Turkish, show you how to make strong Turkish tea, or introduce you to songs that might make you emotional even if you don’t understand a word.

Learn:
I want to learn how people live, what they laugh at, what they cook when they’re lazy, and what songs they sing when no one’s around.

Share:
Good vibes, awkward dance moves, random deep talks at midnight, and maybe some chocolate if I didn’t eat it on the way.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Photos I’ve taken, words from my own language, the little things I’m passionate about — and maybe, if we’re lucky, a new friendship.
