am a teacher living in Istanbul currently. I am an energetic and admirer person who is into learning new cultures&traditions and meeting new people; learning their ways of living, their stories and also sharing mine. There is a saying in Turkey: "The differences(in races, religions, traditions, gender differences etc.) are our richness". I totally agree and try to live my life by getting something different that I believe will make me personally richer and extend my point of view. I do exercises regularly and practice yoga. I love being active though also love to spend time by myself at home. I am rooted and roaming. I map memories, chase cultures, collect stories, everything about traveling, human, emotions. +* The idea of meeting people who live in different parts of the world with different cultures, learning from them&sharing with one other is just amazing. I love diversity and get lost in exploration of this diversity. I can host travelers when I am available and join or tell them some tips to explore Istanbul. Actually ! don't like last minutes requests since I have a daily routine of doing exercises & yoga, cooking, having friends &relatives or meeting friends, Yet I can accept some last minute requests only in case I may be available that day. I feel so lucky to visit some dream countries and cities around the world and that gave me lots of experiences in many aspects. But I think the most important point is to thank ourselves for leaving our comfort zones to give ourselves the chance of doing what we love. And I am quite thankful and grateful for what I could do untill now d My instagram account:@nupelcekin

I believe travel works best when it’s an exchange, not just accommodation. Along with good conversations and respectful company, I can also help with creative work, filming, photography, social media content, event assistance, and other hands-on all kind of tasks wherever useful.”

We just NEED a good opportunity! He and I are a great couple, who are wanting to escape the Arizona Desert! Although we are currently technically 'homeless,' it is NOT our chosen lifestyle. We desperately desire employment! However it is rather difficult to keep a job while on the streets. We need someplace for our 10lb Chi-weenie to 'hangout' while we're working! We have absolutely no family at all, what-so-ever. And the 'friends' we have are in a similar situation. We have a positive attitude, and outlook on life. And we also believe in the Universe's laws of Attraction. We won't sit here and try to sell our character traits. But I can honestly say, we aim to please, and will try very hard to not disappoint!

I'm a curious traveler who loves exploring new countries and cultures. History and architecture fascinate me the most, but I'm equally drawn to local food and everyday customs. I'm always eager to learn something new about the traditions of the place I'm visiting, and I really enjoy sitting down and listening to people's stories — that's often how I learn the most.

I come equipt with a positive outlook, and attitude towards life. I believe deeply in The Universe's Naural Laws, like ATTRACTION, ABUNDANCE, CHARMA. I am makjing a desperate attempt to relocate frrom Phoenix Metro Area in Central Arizona. As much as I've built a lifestyle around these major laws, Arizona proves a disappointment. The worst possible place to be homeless, and on the streets! Temps reach 120 Fahrenheit. If I were to make it to your town, I would either be passing by trying to reach my final destination. Or I've thought about starting my new life in your town. Regardless I am NOT complacent. I have dreams, and I will accomplish my goals!

In addition, I am well-organized and enjoy cooking, which allows me to contribute to daily activities and help maintain a comfortable and structured environment. I am eager to improve my English, gain international experience, and fully immerse myself in a new culture. I am responsible, adaptable, and ready to commit seriously to any tasks assigned to me.

I’m a bit shy, so I’m not usually the first to speak up in a room, but watch out: as soon as people ask me questions and I feel a bit more at ease, I can be a real chatterbox. I love trying new things on my own, meeting new people and hearing them talk about their passions and their lives. I’ve been living away from home for 10 years. I have just graduated with a degree in medicine, and during my studies I spent six months on an Erasmus exchange in Greece and ten months in Romania. I always have my earphones in: I mainly listen to Italian indie music, international pop and rock, and techno. I love going dancing and to concerts. I’ve been vegan for four years and I love cooking and constantly experimenting with new flavours and recipes.

Hong Kong, Hong Kong
I am a first‑year university student from Hong Kong, and this trip is during my summer break. I would like to make good use of this time to broaden my horizons and experience daily life in Europe. I will visit London in July for my brother’s graduation and hope to find one or two host families in Europe before the ceremony. I plan to travel solo from 23/05/2026 to 15/07/2026 and would like to stay with each host for around two weeks. I enjoy listening to people’s stories, learning about different cultures, and spending time in nature and with animals (although I am afraid of snakes). I eat almost everything and am happy to try new food, but I do not handle very spicy dishes well. At home, I help with cooking and housework. I can cook simple meals, and I enjoy baking desserts, but I am more used to an electric stove than to cooking over a gas flame or real fire. I am happy to help with daily chores, gardening, or pet care (except snakes), and I am open to learning new skills. I am quiet at first, but happy to chat once I feel comfortable. I speak Chinese and English, and I learned some Portuguese during a one‑year AFS exchange in Goiânia, Brazil, where I lived with several host families. I would be glad to practise languages together—learning your language while sharing mine. I respect house rules and routines. Please explain them clearly at the beginning, because I cannot know or guess rules that have not been discussed. As there may be cultural differences, I appreciate direct communication rather than hints or indirect messages. If something is not working well, I would like us to talk openly to find a solution together. Having dinner together is important to me, as it is often the best time to share our day and get to know each other. I may need a little time to learn new tasks and to open up in a non‑native language, but I am responsible, adaptable, and always try my best.
