Greetings, my name is Omer, hailing from the beautiful country of Turkey. I am 23.

I'm kind of new to this platform, but I am no stranger to the opportunities that Couchsurfing presents. My favorite part of traveling—whether it's abroad or regions within my country—is connecting with locals. Glad to be here!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Getting to know the locals where I travel is an amazing way to really get the soul of a city. That's what I love most about this app. You could never have this kind of chat with someone you meet just anywhere, but Couchsurfing opens that door for you.

Music, Movies, and Books

For music, I like rock and classical. I'm also an amateur violinist.

When it comes to movies, I'd say I'm a fairly avid user of Letterboxd. I have a lot of cinephile friends, and I love sharing what I've watched with them.

About books, I prefer reading about art history. I'm particularly drawn to books about places I hope to visit one day, and I also have a soft spot for books about Istanbul.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, the first thing that pops into my head is this one time with a Georgian friend. We hitchhiked, going through about 10 different rides and two countries, only to end up sleeping on the street when we got there. The craziest part was having to turn right back around and take the exact same route home the very next day.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer good conversation about my profession, share my life experiences, and provide a warm, comfortable place for you to stay when you come to my country:)
