ABOUT ME

I've just graduated from my Design Degree and decided that now would be a great time to go on an adventure. I love challenging myself with unfamiliar situations but most of all, I love meeting cool and interesting people.

I grew up in a small town one hour out of Melbourne called Mt. Eliza. What we lack in kangaroos we make up for with Kookaburras :) My family is Turkish Cypriot so food is a big love of my life. You haven't had a barbeque until you've done it Turkish style.

I am a designer and illustrator but my inspiration comes from everywhere else. I think a great creator responds to the environment around him/her. If you would like to see my work, visit http://www.metedesign.blogspot.com/

PHILOSOPHY

Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to learn and teach. CS not only gives me an opportunity to meet new people but it also allows me to gain so much more out of life. I can teach you how to speak basic Turkish and I am more than open to learn a new language in return.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been traveling since July and Couch Surfing has been a huge part of my journey. Whether it's been a place to stay or just people to meet up with, it's been such a positive way to travel.
