We are both Mechanical Engineering students at TU İstanbul that love travelling and making new and long-lasting friends on the way. I (22) and my boyfriend, Kağan (24) are both from Turkey. We travel mostly together, therefore we use the same Couchsurfing profile. We mostly used beWelcome when we were both Erasmus students.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books
We love reading, and are have high interest on these Authors; Kafka, Ernst Hemingway, George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, Emrah Serbes, Sabahattin Ali, Dostoevsky, Plutarch, Haruki Murakami, Oscar Wilde, Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Music
We enjoy various genres, we do not favour a style or genre upon another. It all depends on our mood. Most of the times we go out we end up in coffee shops; but in the night we might find our selves enjoying very different places like Reggae Clubs, Dubstep and Techno raves, Psychedelic Trance Gatherings, Rock Bars, Punk Concerts, Rock'n Roll and Swing Dancing Parties and many more. Like most of the 21st century people, in the night we run from the mainstream and aim to have different and new experiences, while in the day we live our typical lives.
Some Artists and Bands that we love from various genres are; Pink Floyd, Massive Attack, Daft Punk, Radiohead, Gorillaz, Bilderbuch, Arctic Monkeys, Oscar and the Wolf Tool, Led Zeppelin, Beatles, Elvis Presley, Bassnectar, Excision, Oliver Hunteman, Die Antwoord, Chet Faker, Gesaffelstein; Metal Bands like Slayer, Lamb of God, Metallica,Manowar, Iron Maiden, Haggard, Trivium.....
This list of bands and artists can go on forever but the main point is that we are not so picky when it comes to music and are fans of quite verious types :)

Films
When it comes to TV Series we like comedy series slightly more, and some of our favorites are; Shameless, How I Met Your Mother Friends, Rick and Morty, Family Guy and of course Game of Thrones

We love movies that lead to unique insights, but sadly not so much into new generation Holywood movies. We also love classics of our age; some of them are Game of Thrones, Requiem for a Dream, Harry Potter, 3 Idiots, Into the Wild, LotR, Matrix, Billy Elliot, Ali G and many more

Some years earlier we used to watch Anime's but can not actually find the time right now; some of which are; Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Fairy Tail, Elfen Lied, Death Note, Code Geass, Cowboy Bebop, Baccano, Ergo Proxy, Monster, Death Note, Hellsing
