Hi! My name is Gizem, and I’m a civil engineering student currently doing my Erasmus exchange in Portugal. Originally from Eskişehir, Turkey, I’m passionate about traveling, meeting new people, and learning about different cultures.

I’m an open-minded and friendly person who loves meaningful conversations about life, culture, and everything in between. When I’m not studying or working on projects, you can find me exploring cities, trying local food, or just enjoying nature.

Being a guest, I respect the space and rules of my hosts, and I always aim to leave a positive impression. I see Couchsurfing as a way to connect with amazing people and create unforgettable memories while traveling.

Looking forward to meeting new friends and sharing stories!
