My name is Mehmetcan, but people just call me John. I came from Turkey, and I am pursuing my Masters degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. I love traveling, swimming, playing table tennis and pool, learning new things, and sharing my experiences and culture. Since I came from a country which has tremendous history, I am interested in history, so I enjoy visiting historic places and architectures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people, get to know them, and have new friendships. Sharing my culture, learning and connecting with other cultures and traditions make me more knowledgeable and happy. Moreover, it is always better to explore new places from the locals.
