After residing in Istanbul for 25 years, a twist of fate led me to Erzurum to further my academic career. Until 5 years ago, I traveled in the mountains, lived in a tent, and worked on my dancing skills, but now I live in a city where these options are limited. Now, one of the nicest things I can do here is listen to the trip adventures of kind strangers. Witnessing other people's experiences, cultures, and lifestyles makes me happy! I aim to be open-minded, kind, and empathic, and I anticipate the same from those who come to see me. P.S.: my residence is tiny and modest; thus, I cannot host more than one or two visitors.

Hi! I'm Salih from Erzurum, Türkiye. I enjoy meeting people from different cultures and believe that the best part of traveling is the people you meet along the way. I'm open-minded, respectful, and always happy to have meaningful conversations over a cup of coffee. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, driving, sports, nature, and learning new languages. I'm currently improving my English and Persian, so I'm always happy to practice and learn from others. For me, Couchsurfing is about sharing experiences, building friendships, and creating unforgettable memories. If you're visiting Erzurum, I'd be happy to share local recommendations or, if possible, host you. I hope we have the chance to meet someday. Safe travels!

Research Assistant in ELT department at Atatürk University in Türkiye, working on my master's. I also work as an English instructor for academic exams at a private course. I make short films on the side, and I'm obsessed with Soviet-era architecture and the post-Soviet world, brutalist blocks, old mikroraions, that whole aesthetic. Also learning Russian, so bear with me! :)
