I’m İpek, a full-time traveler and content creator who’s been exploring the world for 4 years 🌍 I’ve volunteered, worked, and lived in hostels across Asia and Europe, so I know how to make every trip social and fun! I’m super friendly, easygoing, and love bringing people together for new experiences — whether it’s hiking to a hidden waterfall, sharing travel stories over beers, or filming a cool vlog to remember the moment 🎥 If you love the idea of adventure with a chill, friendly group — join me!

We’ll stay in hostels and airbnbs rated over 8.0 to make it affordable, chosen for comfort, safety, and a social vibe. Expect dorm-style or mixed rooms (private upgrades might be possible depending on the hostel). All hostels have great common areas, Wi-Fi, and are close to beaches, restaurants, and nightlife.
