Hi, I’m Kerem , born on April 3rd, 1979, and based in Istanbul for most of my life.

I’m a traveler at heart and have explored Slovenia, Bosnia, Serbia, Croatia, Greece, Austria, Poland, Czech Republic, Germany, France, Italy, Andorra, Spain, and England so far. (England reminded me a lot of Hi, I’m Kerem , born on April 3rd, 1979, and based in Istanbul for most of my life.

I’m a traveler at heart and have explored Slovenia, Bosnia, Serbia, Croatia, Greece, Austria, Poland, Czech Republic, Germany, France, Italy, Andorra, Spain, and England so far. (England reminded me a lot of Istanbul, chaotic yet charming!)

I’m deeply passionate about all forms of art , addicted to photography, literature, poetry, and music. I also stand firmly against war, violence against women, children, and animals, and all forms of abuse.

I’m looking to connect with open-minded, soulful people ,perhaps even someone who, like me, is still seeking their ikigai (reason for being) while appreciating the beauty of the world and its people.

If you’re into meaningful conversations, spontaneous photo walks, or simply enjoying the poetry of life, we’ll probably get along.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because the best part of traveling is not the landmarks, but the people you meet along the way.
Hotels are just buildings; couches are stories waiting to happen.
I want to connect with locals, share authentic moments, and maybe make lifelong friends.

Music is also my passion. I can’t live without it. I like to search less known songs.
I am into books expecially not widely read.
