About Me

Came back to CS after pandemic 🙌 Couchsurfing enabled me to meet gorgeous people, visit places that locals hang out and broaden my vision about how people live. I mostly used during my Erasmus semester in Munich. It was free back then. And suddenly it became a paid app. Then i stopped using, I tried different apps for similar purposes but nothing worked like couchsurfing. Now I'm traveling again. Before pandemic I was in the student mode and travelling was so enjoyable. Now I was laid off and have years of professional experience, and travelling feels different.

I was always interested in people, but now with the years of psychotherapy experience, I can go deeper in conversations and listening is always the most interesting part :)

I usually eat everything but I choose not to eat baked food (hamur işi) and packaged food. I usually cook alternative versions of baked food., I hope we can try 🙏

My old cs Friends, if you wish to reconnect with me, you can email me ebguven@gmail.com

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to explore new places and local people in cities that I visited, usually for educational (self-development is also a kind of education :P) purposes. This is the best way to learn about a new country, right? I've met gorgeous people here, all of them was inspirational about travelling and life. I love learning every single piece from people I meet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't like classifying things as amazing or boring. Everything I do is amazing, every moment is special and significant :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Learning is an endless experience. I love learning anything and everything from single moment of live. And sharing... It is the best part of this process.
