Merhaba! I’m a 24-year-old Quantum Engineering MSc student from Türkiye 🇹🇷, now living in Hannover 🇩🇪. Ever since childhood, music has been my compass 🎶—whether it’s classical symphonies 🎻, Anatolian folk melodies on my bağlama 🎸, the hues of rock and blues 🎷, or the delicate tones of Japanese tunes 🇯🇵. Though I sample many genres, I’m picky: my rare cassettes by Münir Nurettin Selçuk and Zeki Müren 📼 would be the first I’d rescue in an emergency. Friends call me “calm” 🧘 and “classy” 🤵, a reflection of my thoughtful nature and my love for good conversation over a perfectly brewed Turkish coffee ☕. When I’m not unraveling quantum puzzles or leafing through philosophy texts 📚, you might find me strumming piano 🎹, planning my next camping adventure 🏕️, or experimenting with a new recipe 🍳.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing to go beyond tourist façades and truly connect 🌐:

Language & Culture: Practice German 🇩🇪 and Japanese 🇯🇵, exchange idioms, slang, and laughter 😂

Shared Traditions: Learn your family’s secret recipe 🥘 while teaching you to brew Turkish coffee with pistachio-chocolate 🍫

Stories & Friendships: Debate Kubrick’s cinematography 🎬, swap knot-tying techniques 🪢, and build memories that outlast checkout

Interests

• music
• camping
• physics
• museums

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Vinyls & cassettes spanning Beethoven symphonies 🎼 to Anatolian classics 🎶—always on the hunt for that spark in an indie record shop 🔍

Movies: Stanley Kubrick’s precision is unmatched 🎥—Barry Lyndon is a masterpiece of light and quiet tension 🌟

Books & Poetry: Verses by Nazım Hikmet and Attila İlhan ✒️; rare philosophy tomes and historical biographies that reshape how I see the world 🌎

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

From camping at –10 °C on the Bolu Mountains ❄️ to coastal forests in Muğla and Çanakkale 🌲, I’ve logged hundreds of scouting camp-nights. One summer, I joined a two-week Balkan camp tour 🚐—traveling through six countries, singing around campfires 🔥, crafting local handicrafts, and forging friendships that crossed borders. That journey taught me resilience, empathy, and the joy of mutual curiosity 🤝.
