I’m a philosophy student from Istanbul. Currently working as an English-German tutor for mainly kids. Although I enjoy teaching and plan on advancing in the academic field, I am also very interested in cultural tourism. I can offer you a great stroll through the streets of Istanbul filled with historical or local chatter!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Although I enjoy traveling, I find it quite scary and tense from time to time. Last year, while traveling together, a good friend introduced me to couchsurfing and showed me how nice people actually are. Plus it’s free :)
