Hello! My name is Durket.

I love traveling, meeting new people, and exploring different cultures. So far, I have visited the USA, Italy, and Georgia, and each of these trips has given me unforgettable experiences.

One of my most memorable adventures was completing the Rim to Rim hike in the Grand Canyon—a challenging 45 km journey that pushed my limits both physically and mentally. But being surrounded by such breathtaking nature made every step worth . I planning to visit more countries together. I am always excited to meet amazing people along the way, exchange stories, and learn from different perspectives. For me traveling is not just about sightseeing but also about connecting with locals and experiencing cultures from the inside.

I love the spirit of Couchsurfing and believe that great friendships can be built through shared experiences. If we cross paths, we would love to share great conversations and unforgettable moments!

Looking forward to meeting you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling is more than just visiting new places—it’s about connecting with people, sharing experiences, and learning from different cultures. That’s exactly why I’m on Couchsurfing!

I believe that the best way to understand a place is through its people. I love meeting locals, hearing their stories, and experiencing the world from their perspective. My wife, Fatma, and I are passionate about traveling together and discovering new destinations while making meaningful connections along the way.

Through Couchsurfing, I hope to meet amazing hosts and travelers, exchange cultures, and create lifelong friendships. Whether it’s sharing a meal, exploring a city, or simply having great conversations, I believe that every interaction adds value to the journey.

Looking forward to meeting and learning from incredible people around the world!

Interests

I have a variety of interests that keep me curious and excited to learn. I’m really passionate about football, always eager to follow the latest games and discuss teams, tactics, and players. I also have a deep interest in history, as I love exploring the past and understanding how it shapes our present.

Another area that fascinates me is nature—I enjoy spending time outdoors, hiking, and connecting with the natural world. It helps me recharge and appreciate the beauty of our planet.

Lastly, I enjoy discovering interesting facts and learning new things—whether it’s about different cultures, science, or little-known details that make the world more fascinating. I’m always excited to share new discoveries and learn from others!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love engaging in deep and meaningful conversations, especially about global issues, culture, and travel. Since I have a master’s degree in International Relations, I enjoy discussing world affairs, politics, and different perspectives on global topics.

I can also share my language skills! I speak English and Kurdish, so if you’re interested in learning a few words or phrases, I’d be happy to help.

Music is another passion of mine—I can play the Native American flute, and I’d love to share its soothing melodies with my hosts. Whether it’s playing a tune or simply enjoying good music together, I believe it’s a great way to connect.

Above all, I bring a positive attitude, a love for cultural exchange, and a genuine curiosity to learn from others. Whether it’s sharing stories, cooking together, or exploring new places, I’d love to contribute to a great experience!
