CURRENT MISSION

Finding a balance in my life

ABOUT ME

Well, not all but here is some about me. I am one of those people who are engaged in several things and try to find a balance between work and fun. I am currently doing MA in Linguistics and also I work as a teacher of Turkish for foreigners. Still I create time to meet new people and be with my friends and family.

Whenever I have time I'd like to walk along Bosphorus and stroll through Istanbul with friends.
And I love nature! I support several NGOs which are working for a better world with cleaner environment and natural food.

PHILOSOPHY

"Today is life. The only life you are sure of. Make the most of today."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

A friends of mine told me about it, and I thought it was a brilliant idea.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A CSer accompanied me on a freezing cold day in Oslo to show me the city (many thanks, again). Another friend from CS hosted me in Cambodia, I discovered many places thanks to him and I saw the non-touristic, real part of Siem Reap.

I try to go to Regular meetings when I dont work late.

I go to "Mesa de español" to practice my Spanish and meet new friends.

I went to an Istanbul city walk, it was amazing!I don't want to miss the following ones.
