About Me

Hey, I'm Selami. I run a visa consultancy business, but outside of work, I'm someone who finds joy in good conversations, shared meals, and spontaneous adventures.
I enjoy hosting and believe that sharing space is more than just offering a bed — it’s about stories, cultures, and those late-night chats that somehow stick with you for years.

I’m curious by nature, practical by habit, and a little sarcastic by default. I love organizing game nights (Werewolf, anyone?), exploring hidden local spots, or just unwinding with a drink and good music.

At home, I value comfort and respect — you're welcome to use everything, from kitchen gadgets to the last spoon of coffee. I’m chill but also clean, warm but not clingy. Whether you’re an early riser or a night owl, you’ll find a rhythm here.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because hotels don’t offer laughs over breakfast or spontaneous stories from the road. I host not just to offer a roof, but to create connections — and maybe gather a few wild travel tales along the way.

Music, Movies, and Books

My playlists go from Turkish psychedelic rock to lo-fi hip hop — with unexpected stops at 90s arabesk and old-school blues.
I love movies that either mess with your mind (Fight Club, Her, The Platform) or feel like comfort food (Midnight in Paris, Amélie).
As for books, I switch between psychology, dystopian fiction, and anything that makes me put the book down and say “Damn, that was deep.”

Also: I'm always open to a spontaneous documentary binge or sharing a nostalgic Turkish movie from the 90s that somehow still hits hard.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once turned a group of total strangers into a tight-knit crew over a single night of games, laughter, and shared stories — all in my office, which doubled as our secret HQ. By morning, it felt like we'd known each other for years.
No mountain climbed, no skydiving — just a reminder that connection, when real, is the most amazing adventure.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to survive visa chaos, host the perfect game night, or cook a proper Turkish-style scrambled eggs (menemen — with or without onions, your call). Also: basic Python, street-smart travel tips, and how to say “abi” like a local.

I love learning about new perspectives, everyday rituals from different cultures, and how people handle joy, heartbreak, or hangovers in their corner of the world.

I’ll gladly share my home, stories, good coffee, some killer playlists, and if you're lucky — a glass of rakı with classic Turkish meze.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good stories, bad jokes, strong coffee, and real conversations.
I’m tidy, respectful, and know when to talk and when to give space.
If you’re into deep chats, fun card games, or just vibing with good music — I’m your guy.
Also happy to cook a Turkish meal, troubleshoot your tech, or just be that chill guest who makes the couch feel like a café.
