ABOUT ME

Hi people!

I'm Seyda from Istanbul who is studying in Berlin and likes being on the road. Try everything once is kinda my motto and I believe i should discover new cultures, different point of views as much as possible. I'm outgoing, positive person and up for learning,trying something new.

I love colours, hitchhiking, listening stories of people, being spontaneous, getting lost in the forest, hiking, sleeping under a blanket of clouds, gazing at stars, the smell after rain, cinnamon, figs, playing volleyball, dancing, laughing and cooking-eating :)

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short, Birds are flying! (C.Süreya- a turkish poet) - So Keep Calm and Enjoy the experience!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think Couchsurfing is the best way of getting closed to the culture and people of the country. You are not like a simple tourist, you are a traveller! It gives an opportunity to discover the country from locals perspective.
