Hi! I’m a 21 yo computer engineering student from Istanbul. I’ll be visiting my friends in Lille who are on their Erasmus exchange program and I’m also planning to visit Paris. I studied French during my preparatory year but have lost some of my practice. I’m curious about French culture and would love to experience it. I love exploring new places and meeting people from different cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on CS to connect with locals, meet new people, and gain insights into cities. I’m looking forward to experiencing Paris and would greatly appreciate any tips or recommendations you might have. Thanks in advance for your hospitality and guidance!

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to metal, specifically symphonic metal, mostly.
Some bands that I enjoy listening to: Nightwish, Haggard, Epica, Therion, Rammstein...

I'm not a movie person really, I've mostly watched famous ones from the IMDB top 250 and some from my childhood. I prefer TV series. My favorites are The Wire and The Sopranos—they might be considered mainstream, but I think they’re perfect. Here are my IMDB lists if you are interested:

- TV Series: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls507452036/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk
- Movies: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls507452516/?ref_=uspf_t_1

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach anything from Turkish culture and programming knowledge. I’m open to trying new things and eager to learn almost anything. I also love sharing travel stories and exchanging experiences. Additionally, I enjoy discussing and debating a wide range of topics, so feel free to bring up any subject you’re passionate about.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cultural exchange, language practice and I’m open to discussing any interests we might share and participating in activities you enjoy. I would be happy to assist with any household works or tasks. I can also be a good companion and add a positive and friendly vibe to your home.
