Hello! I’m Ayşenur Hepgüven, a third-year Computer Engineering student from Istanbul, Turkey, currently participating in the Erasmus+ program at Università Politecnica delle Marche in Ancona. This opportunity allows me to explore a new culture, expand my academic knowledge, and connect with people from diverse backgrounds. I am passionate about diving into Italian culture, learning the language, and experiencing the Italian way of life firsthand.

Beyond my studies, I’m fascinated by Italian art, especially painting and ceramics, and I enjoy discussing series, films, manga, and anime. I’m also open to language exchange – I’d love to practice Italian and am happy to help others with Turkish or French in return!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

During my Erasmus journey, I hope to travel across various regions in Italy and beyond, visiting unique places, learning about different cultures, and connecting with people from all walks of life. I believe that meeting new people and experiencing diverse perspectives will enrich my time here immensely.
