✨ Hosting Note ✨

If you’re visiting Istanbul, I’d be happy to host you! We can cook something fun together (I promise my kitchen skills won’t disappoint), hang out over good music, or head out for a walk to explore the city. I’m based in Etiler, close to Bebek, Ortaköy, Taksim, Üsküdar, Kadıköy, Sultanahmet, and Hagia Sophia—so you’ll be near both the local gems and the must-see spots. Since I work remotely, you’ll have plenty of flexibility with coming and going.
Hello! I’m 27 and living in vibrant Istanbul, where I spend my time building tech projects, experimenting with new ideas, and enjoying the creativity of startup life. But life isn’t all screens—I also love spinning tracks as a DJ, salsa dancing, practicing yoga, singing opera, and of course, cooking. Sharing a meal is one of my favorite ways to connect.
I’m curious by nature, open-minded, and always up for deep (or silly) conversations—whether it’s about psychology, technology, art, or life’s random adventures. Traveling, discovering new cultures, and meeting people with unique stories are what inspire me the most.
If you’re looking for a host who’s easygoing, social, and knows a few cool spots around the city, feel free to reach out. Let’s share stories, laugh a lot, and maybe create a few memorable adventures together!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing because traveling is more meaningful when shared with genuine people. I believe the best way to truly experience a place is through the stories, recommendations, and warmth of locals and fellow travelers. For me, Couchsurfing isn’t just about finding a place to stay; it’s about building connections, exchanging cultures, and creating memories that last a lifetime.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is a big part of my life. My taste is really broad—I can enjoy the power of opera, the energy of techno, the depth of rock, or the flow of jazz, depending on the mood. Sometimes I’m happy just chilling with something acoustic and soft, other times I want the kind of beats that keep you moving. For me, music isn’t about one genre, it’s about the experience and the feeling it creates.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Performed a salsa show at the 2024 EDF Eskişehir Dance Festival—one of Turkey’s premier dance events. It was an unforgettable experience sharing the stage with talented dancers and feeling the energy of the crowd.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach:
I’d love to share some salsa moves or DJing techniques—rhythm and music are languages everyone can speak! Also happy to talk about entrepreneurship, mobile app development, or digital marketing strategies.

Learn:
I’m eager to improve my cooking skills by discovering local recipes and culinary secrets wherever I travel. Always open to learning about new cultures, languages, and hearing people’s inspiring life stories.

Stories from my adventures in tech, dancing, and traveling. Plus, I’m always up for thoughtful conversations about psychology, personal growth, or anything that makes us pause and think deeply.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can also prepare traditional Turkish food—anything from simple homemade mezes to a hearty main dish. Cooking together is one of my favorite ways to share culture, and I love introducing guests to the flavors of Istanbul. Whether it’s a relaxed dinner at home or a little kitchen experiment, good food always brings good stories.
