About me
I'm a social butterfly. I like socializing in groups where there's plenty of stimulation and drinks! I'm a regular at the CS meetings here in Istanbul and I'd love to share the good vibe with you guys too. My working schedule is kind of irregular, but I can mostly make time to accomodate you. I love to host and I hosted up to a hundred people before I moved to the suburbs from downtown. There are still some badass travellers who doesnt mind the bus ride from/to my place (Bahçeşehir), so I still have guests occasionally. I'm one of those who you feel familiar and at ease with the first minute they meet me (I keep hearing that). I'm as blunt as a Dutch person and as hospitable as any Turk can be. I like bantering a little too much and it can be overwhelming for sensitive people (ironicly I only banter with people I happen to like). Oh and I'm queer, in case that matters, and I'm not looking for dates here, so relax ;)) https://couchsurfing.page.link/uUzMq5vcGWS1vr8TA (for references..)

Nisa

Can host for:
2 nights
About me
Hi, I’m Nisa, 27! I’m absolutely obsessed with traveling—discovering new places, meeting people from all over the world, listening to their unique stories, and creating memories together that turn strangers into lifelong friends. I genuinely believe some of life’s best lessons can only be learned through these shared moments, and I jump on every chance I get to experience them. I’m easygoing, open-minded, and super social. I’m new to this app, but I’ve surprisingly built amazing friendships with people from all kinds of cultures along the way. Collecting these connections has honestly become my favorite hobby! 🫠

Stay with locals
Stay with local women to see how they live, listen their stories, learn about their culture and have a unique travel experience.
Is Istanbul safe for female travelers?
Solo travel
I solo travelled to Istanbul last year, and it’s probably my favorite city in the world! I felt really safe. The European side is more touristy, and I saw a lot more scammers, but the Asian side was amazing IMO. I’d recommend taking the ferry to some of the local islands. It’s an easy and cheap day trip, and they’re very beautiful.
