My name in Umit. meaning of my name is Hope. I am a IT Specialist. I live in Samsun Turkey

I have visited many countries since 2017. I planned some of them months in advance, some of them were due to a flight ticket that came along. I love wandering around the back streets of cities, eating where the locals eat, and sharing things with people. Whether I stay in a hotel, a hostel, an airbnb, or couchsurfing, I make sure to leave the place I spend time clean. My foreign language skills are not very good, but I do not hesitate to communicate.

I have an active lifestyle, I bike 15 km twice a week, then swim for 1 hour and go to work. I also bike back the same way after work. I definitely play a football match every week.

I like to pick mushrooms, fruits, and herbs from the mountains when they are in season. I have knowledge about this.

I love planning trips and plan low-budget trips for the people around me.

I love local food and especially beer, I definitely try the special beers of every region I visit. I have a vegan lifestyle, but I do not accuse anyone.

I read a lot about history, literature, spiritualism, health and nutrition and I love to chat about these topics.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
