Hey there! I’m Hakan – tech guy by day, sea-walker and nature lover by evening. I’m passionate about dogs, olives, long walks on the beach (yes, really), and good conversation over coffee. If you’re up for an exchange of cultures, travel stories, or just want to explore a bit of Çanakkale with a local, let’s connect!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because life is better when it's shared. I'm not here just to meet travelers—I'm here to connect with open-minded, kind, and slightly weird (in a good way) people from all around the world. Hosting, hanging out, or exchanging ideas over coffee—bring it on!

Interests

I’m a curious person by nature. I love discovering new places, both physically and intellectually. Whether it's diving into a new Linux distro, learning how to ferment kefir, or walking barefoot on the sand while thinking about AI ethics—I'm in. I also love pushing my limits: fasting, cold swims, hiking steep trails, you name it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swam in the Aegean Sea under the stars at midnight with glowing plankton around me… and Odin next to me barking at the waves. That moment was pure magic.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some basic Turkish, advanced Linux kung-fu, or how to prepare Turkish-style meat with minimal ingredients and maximum flavor. I'm always up to learn something new—your local cooking, your views on life, or even your favorite conspiracy theory. Let’s share stories, laughter, and a bit of philosophy.
