Heyy! I'm Özgür
I'm a freelance Architect and Photographer.
(instagram📸: shotbyozgur)
I'm living alone in bodrum center with my 2 cats 🐈‍⬛

I’m not sure if this is a philosophy, but I love seeing how people find their own ways to live this absurd life 🥂
The perspectives and friendships I’ve gained here are priceless. That’s why I admire Couchsurfing.

●●● My place for guests 🏡 ●●●
My current flat is walking distance to bodrum center, beaches and clubs. It is small, but a cute place with a balcony inside the trees. You can feel like it is your own house, use laundry, wifi and fridge etc freely, even if i forget to remind.

●●● What we can do in Bodrum 🏄‍♂️ ●●●
-If you are tired i like cooking and chill at home with movie or some games while having sincere conversations☕️.
Or;
-I like to walk in the city with my camera and going to small trips inside bodrum with my car🚙
-we can go swimming on near beaches while doing a small picnic🏖,
-i am going to gym and we can go together for a day. 🏋‍♂️
-we can do daily boat tour ⛵️ (it's very economic with tourist groups)
-we can do hiking in nature.
-we can go out to grab a drink in a bar at sunset or nightclubs in center🌅.

If you're sensitive about the mindset of the host🙏🏽;
I don't have any religion or beliefs. Politically i'm a left winged guy, very openminded and openhearted.
I try to be not strict about anything, question myself to be more positive and understanding human being, as much as i can.

I'm fluent in english. and expect atleast to have basic conversation with csers👐🏽
I guess that's it:) Looking forward to meet you✌🏽

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Connecting people from other countries is better than some sightseeing.

And I love helping travelers who are on important journeys in their stories.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am kind of a cinephile, 📽 I'm in love with world cinema. my favourite director is Wong Kar Wai. My letterboxd account:'fkzgr'

I was reading a lot 5 to 10 years ago usually existential writers like camus sartre nietzche or dostoevsky. But that era for me was depressive 😅 After that i discovered writers like murakami and jack london. And I started to discover my extroverted side and engaging with life more. I'm reading much less now.
●
I like many kinds of musics 🎶
but mostly i connect with indie rock and alternative musics. Sometimes i like techno. Lately i like latin tunes.
Also i have a small (15-20pcs)vinyl collection
