About me
Hello everyone! I’m Fatma. I have been working as a teacher in İstanbul for six years. I love travelling and solo-travel has become kind of a therapy for me over the years:) If you are in İstanbul, I can show you around at weekends and give you some tips as well. You can ask any questions, please don’t be shy. My home is a bit far from the touristic places, but if you need a place to crash you can come over:)

About me
I’m an English teacher by profession and a curious traveler by nature. When I’m not helping kids fall in love with language, I’m either sketching, experimenting in the kitchen, or walking through unfamiliar streets with a sense of quiet wonder. I believe every street holds a story, every dish carries a memory, and every journey gains meaning when shared. I can guide you to the best coffee in town-and maybe even point out where Walter Benjamin would’ve searched for traces of time in passing places. I love planning, but I always leave room for the unexpected. If you’re not just looking to see a place, but to feel it-I’m here. I’ll guide the way, and maybe offer a good conversation too. Things your GPS can’t do.

About me
I'm a 27 year old student. I'm in my 3rd year of studying Psychology and I guess I would say I'm what you would get if you mixed up a love for people and living things, an insatiable curiosity and skepticism from love of science and discovery, extra sensitiveness, some spirituality and an intuitive compass. I'm also just quite abnormal and intense in all that I feel and I enjoy this way of being. There is very little in life that is a taboo topic in my view but all of my decisions will be based on love, pragmatism and the highest good of all involved. Lastly I am full of flaws and I accept them but also work on them the best way that I possibly can.

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). I'm new here, trying to figure out the app. Hope to meet some sweet people.. 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..)

It's a very good place to visit , I recommend it . I don't regret going, and I would like to go again. It's not very expensive if you have euro The food is excellent and you can eat wherever. People there are very nice

Istanbul is a beautiful city. There is so much to do and you will never be bored. Safety wise I would say it’s mostly safe and I’ve never felt unsafe alone at night. But there are men who can cat-call you or pressure you to come into the night clubs.

Carissa
About Me
Hi, I'm Carissa, I'm 32, and my pronouns are she/her. I love to travel and see less of the touristy things. Although I'm really big on history, architecture, learning how things are made, and food when it comes to travel. I have two cute Yorkies (hypoallergenic) at home that I love dearly, but I am allergic to animal dander. I tend to be on the quieter side, but I love getting to hear other people's stories and try to learn as much as I can wherever I go. I value meeting people, dancing, laughing, eating new things and enjoying magical moments that travel has to offer. I love talking about physical and mental health, food from both historical and socio-economic perspectives, cultural norms, and family systems. You could also find me talking about dance, movies, music, art and fashion. I love it all.
