Hey there! I’m a Turkish couchsurfer and AI engineer who loves to travel, cook, eat, read, and run regularly (with some occasional cycling thrown in). If you ever find yourself in Istanbul, don’t hesitate to reach out — I’d be happy to help you out or guide you around the city. Depending on timing and my flat’s availability (and my roommate’s okay), I might even be able to host you.

I’ve always believed Couchsurfing isn’t just about finding a place to stay — it’s about sharing stories, experiences, and moments of life together. We’re all citizens of the same world, and we all deserve to explore every part of it. 🌍

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’ve always believed Couchsurfing has never been just about finding a place to stay. It’s about connecting — sharing experiences, stories, and moments of life. I’m here because I don’t just want to learn people’s names; I want to hear their stories, the lives they’ve built, and the dreams they’re chasing.

Meeting new people, getting glimpses into different cultures and perspectives — that’s what makes this community so special. And the fact that we can help each other out with a place to stay along the way just makes it a perfect win-win for travelers and hosts alike!

Interests

I adore meeting foreign cultures, friends. Also travelling is one of my idol hobbies.

• travelling
• biking
• listening to music
• doing sports
• singing karaoke

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite musician is Mabel Matiz — a brilliant Turkish artist whose music I never get tired of. When it comes to series, I’m into Breaking Bad and Black Mirror. I’m not much of a movie watcher, though — I usually end up choosing music or a good conversation instead.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going for a solo travel to far east for 1 month.

Teach, Learn, Share

I usually don’t reply to cold or copy-paste host requests. If you’re interested in staying at my place in Şişli, please send me a personal message — tell me something I might not know, something unique or surprising. Just give it a try!

What I Can Share with Hosts

A metropolitan city waiting to be discovered from a local’s perspective — with a touch of home through some signature dishes from my hometown, Antioch (the heart of one of the richest cuisines in Türkiye).
