Hello everyone, I am Mevlüt, I live alone in Istanbul and my cat's name is Elfesyo.I studied Finance at Istanbul University. I was previously working in e-commerce, stock exchange and crypto businesses.I have a partial orthopedic disability in my left foot. I had an accident before. My left foot bounces slightly and I have a slight gait disorder. This still does not prevent me from traveling.I am relaxed, I love simplicity, I love life despite everything, I accept all personalities of people, I love talking and discussing with strangers. Having a monotonous life is definitely not my style. In my opinion, working in a commodified system is equivalent to being a slave to the modern age. That's why I travel whenever I have the chance. And I have a plan to quit my job soon, take my backpack and go on a world tour. My hobbies are listening to music, playing table tennis, watching movies and TV series, traveling, getting to know different cultures and meeting foreigners. I always empathize with the other person. I try to be flexible when I meet new people My philosophy of life is this: DISCOVER, LEARN, LOVE AND LIVE.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is literally a culture, a lifestyle. Moreover, this lifestyle includes meeting people from all over the world, exploring different cultures closely and having truly local experiences.Couchsurfing is not just about finding free accommodation but also about building meaningful connections and creating memorable travel experiences through shared hospitality and cultural exchange. It appeals to travelers seeking authentic and immersive travel experiences beyond traditional tourism. What makes CS attractive to me is the opportunity it gives me to broaden my perspective on the world, get to know different cultures, and make friends wherever I travel.
Because I love traveling.I'm here to meet different cultures, learn new things and find foreign friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was 15 years old. While I was working as a shepherd in the mountains, I saw 3 bear cubs. They were very beautiful. I gave them milk. Then their mother came. When she saw that I was giving milk to her cubs, the bear did not attack me. I was very scared and slowly walked away, but I went to see those bear cubs every week. I became friends with them for 3 months. It was an incredible experience.
