Hi! I'm Ömer, an English literature student from Yeditepe University. I am living on my own in two different locations in the city, one is Ataköy, quite a decent neighbourhood on the European side with lots of access to different means of travel. The other one is Kinaliada, one of the Princes' Islands and the closest to the mainland and smallest of all four main islands. It differs depending on circumstances which house I am at but right now I am in Ataköy. Probably will move soon to the island though, let's see!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people from around the world and get to know new faces and cultures, learning about their stories and provide a good stay for them.

Interests

I like listening to music, playing aswell on my guitar.

• writing
• poetry
• music
• basketball
• classical guitar
• english literature

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I am open to most genres like metal, jazz, classical, indie, rock, a bit of pop, instrumental and so forth. Though I am a bit distant towards rap music altough did have some few good ones, they didn't direct me towards more of the genre.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have worked for a while in an off-license in UK. It was an immigrant heavy area so I struggled quite a bit with understanding what they meant as I have never ever heard some of the accents people had, was quite funny, haha!

Teach, Learn, Share

I got some recipes under my hand, some of them being Turkish dishes, I can make some to you, in exchange some recipes and cooking aswell from your country's cuisine would be nice. I am very keen on hearing new music. Would love to exchange music and experience different frequencies. I can share my observations about the culture and teach some Turkish words if you are willing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'll offer the house, of course, and will help best as I can with any problems that may occur and suggestions the surfer may ask for during their travel. I can share some food but of course will demand an equal amount of contribution to the house's expenses(excluding heating, water, electricity and so forth).
