Hi! I’m İbrahim — a photographer, explorer, and lover of freedom and spontaneous adventures!

I’m based in beautiful Antalya, Turkey, where I live with my cat Banksy. I’ve been part of the Couchsurfing community since 2009 and have hosted and met travelers from all around the world. I truly believe that every person brings a new story, a new lesson, and a new perspective — and I’m always excited to discover them.

I’m an open-minded and respectful person who enjoys deep conversations, spontaneous road trips, and laughing over a meal or a board game. I love motorbikes, hiking in the mountains, getting lost in nature, and capturing moments through my camera lens. I’m also a big fan of arts, music, and long talks under the stars.

If you’re into photography, I’d be happy to offer you a free photo session — I know many secret spots around Antalya with breathtaking views!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once quit my job to follow my passion — I enrolled in the Faculty of Fine Arts to study photography.
That decision changed my life, and I’ve never looked back!
And visited Cherynoby

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach photography — both the technical side and the creative/artistic side.
I’m also happy to share insider tips about exploring Antalya like a local.
More than anything, I love learning from the stories and experiences of fellow travelers.
