I’m someone who truly enjoys meeting new and interesting people from all corners of the world—whether I’m traveling abroad or welcoming travelers to my own country. For me, Couchsurfing is all about genuine connections, cultural exchange, great conversations, and shared experiences.

I believe every person has a unique story, and I love hearing them over local food, spontaneous adventures, or a simple walk around the city. Open-minded, easygoing, and always up for a good laugh—I'm here to make friends, not just memories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing because I love meeting people from different countries, backgrounds, and cultures. It’s a beautiful way to connect beyond borders, share stories, and experience places through a local lens.

Whether I’m traveling or hosting, I enjoy the meaningful conversations, spontaneous plans, and friendships that often last far beyond the journey. For me, Couchsurfing is not just about accommodation—it's about human connection.

Interests

I’m truly passionate about travel—exploring new places, meeting diverse people, and collecting unforgettable experiences.

When I’m not on the road, I enjoy watching films, spending quality time with my family and friends, and occasionally experimenting in the kitchen—I’m no master chef, but I do enjoy cooking something simple and tasty!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Flying over Fethiye, Turkey in a microlight was one of the most unforgettable moments of my life—the views, the freedom, and the adrenaline were surreal!

But beyond that single experience, I consider my journeys around the world—both the good and the challenging—to be the most rewarding part of my life so far. I’ve devoted a big part of my life to travel, and I take pride in every step of that path.

Through my stories and experiences, I hope to inspire others to explore the world, step out of their comfort zones, and embrace the beauty of connection and discovery.
