Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

Year 2018
We like to host and meet new people as a whole family.
We have two sons, Sinan 13 and Civan 11.
They are performance tennis players.
I joined CS before but our new home is suitable to welcome surfers.
This summer, at the beginning our main goal was to make our sons speak English with our guests.
Thanks to CS and wonderful guests, they are improving their practice day by day.
Over time, it’s getting much more enjoyful.
My wife Semi, who is also a perfect cook, likes cooking international meals together with our guests.
The taste of the crowded dinners we eat at the big table is beyond description...

Update: April 2022
Beginning at summer of 2018 in Antalya, we hosted several guests from all over the world.
In summer of 2019 we moved to İzmir. After a long break because of the pandemi we began again.
Hosting nearly became our life style:)
As of today, kids are teenagers, Sinan-17, Civan-15.
And my wife moved to Gent/Belgium as a stuff scientist in biotechnology.
In time, we want to move there also.
We are still hosting but our guests won't have the chance to taste her delicious foods:)

January 2023
My two sons moved to Belgium too.
And I moved to Istanbul.
I live alone with my two cats:)

July 2024
I’m back in Antalya.

January 2026
I got retired, live with my dog and cat together.

My family is also hosting surfers in Belgium.
