I believe the transformation of travel on the traveler and the host. I believe the interaction between the host and the traveler creates profound changes among them and it makes a better and sustainable world for all of us.

Hello fellow travelers! I'm Özer, an avid explorer who has been to over 30 countries around the world. I am currently pursuing a PhD in Tourism in Antalya, Turkey and also run a cozy Bed and Breakfast in the Kackar Mountains.

I am can speak English, Spanish, and Turkish, and love learning about new cultures and meeting new people. When I'm not studying or hosting guests, I enjoy hiking, cooking, and discovering secret local spots in cities.

As a guest, I am respectful, tidy, and always eager to learn about the local way of life. I look forward to meeting you and sharing travel stories!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing because I believe that travel is not just about seeing new places, but also about connecting with locals and learning from their perspectives. I want to immerse myself in different cultures and create meaningful relationships with people from all over the world. I also enjoy sharing my own culture and experiences with others, and believe that Couchsurfing is a great platform for building a global community based on trust and mutual respect.
