About Me
ABOUT ME
Hello everyone ! I am a solo traveller who has always been very interested in getting to know new cultures and people, beyond the basic tourist trap. Slightly addicted to photography.. You might check my Instagram for some of the photos I shoot during my travels and flights..

PHILOSOPHY
To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer, to find each other, and to feel..
"Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends."
~Maya Angelou
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
The couchsurfing is more about sharing a story for me than providing a free bed to someone I met for the first time or finding just a place to spend the night. It's not so hard and expensive to find an accomodation these days but It's quite rare to find someone that you can share an experience, especially for solo travellers,(doesn't mean that I won't help you if you are seriously in need of assistance and can't find anywhere else to spend the night and won't be able to hang out with me while you stay at my place.. I know how it feels to sleep outside, at train stations or airport )
I offer my couch to anyone who needs to stay in Ankara. Because i work in weekdays, unfortunately i am not able to be at home till 6 pm, but i can be your guide after 6 and whole weekend.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I decided to join couchsurfing after i travelled around Europe for the first time in 2011 and found out about CS from another backpacker. I hosted some travellers , surfed and met with some CS'ers during my travels so far and I'm glad to find such an opportunity to know these people ..
