Hey, my name is Şafak, I study medicine and I'm from Istanbul, Turkey. I enjoy living in Istanbul and I love being part of a such big cultural heritage. I like walking in nature, swimming and cooking. I'm a big fan of outdoor activities. I love traveling around the world and getting know new cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm trying make my travels to be as meaningful as possible by getting know new people and cultures. For me, traveling means a lot more. It is the process of feeling at home in a foreign country by making friends, living with locals, and letting them show you their way of living and thinking. It widenes your horizon so much if you learn to understand other cultures :)
