Hi, I’m Emre, living in Ankara, Turkey. I love wandering new cities on foot (sometimes sadly with too many step count haha), hunting down local pubs and cooking simple meals at home. I’m a pet lover and local-market scavenger.

I like traveling new places by pushing my "comfort zone" by meeting new people, exploring different places and new cultures. I'm mostly open to exploring new adventures.

I believe in solidarity and co-existence, through shared experiences and stories that travel (and anything) becomes meaningful. The draw I line here is any kind of discriminatory views. If you have any racist, sexist, fascist etc thoughts, I'd prefer not engaging at all.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me, Couchsurfing is about people over places. I want to explore your favorite local spots, swap travel hacks, and share stories late into the evening. Travel becomes unforgettable when it’s built on real relationships, not just check-ins. I'd love to meet new people with the 'Couchsurfing mindset'.

Interests

When I’m not out exploring, you’ll usually find me:
- Checking out tickets and travel blogs for any future trips
- Cooking simple meals at home and tweaking recipes as I go
- Creating playlists and discovering new songs (always open to recommendations)
- Diving into deep conversations, whether that’s over a couple of drinks or a late-night walk, or both:)
- Spending time with my friends' pets as I personally don't own one
