I am someone only thing matters making life as pleasent as possible. That should be the goal, it just to make life as enjoyable as possible. Because life is not easy. 😇🌈

That’s exactly why I travel — to connect, to share experiences, and to create meaningful memories.

A little about me:
I’m a queer marketing professional based in Dublin, originally from Turkey, and currently working at an American fintech company. Outside of work, I’m into techno music, workout, tennis, and running. I am part of very vibrant gay running club here in Dublin.

Over the past decade, I’ve had the chance to live in Istanbul, Barcelona, Girona, Belgrade, and now Dublin — all thanks to work and study. Moving around isn’t always easy, but it’s helped me grow, step out of my comfort zone, and not only explore new places and people, everytime I explorer new version of me.

My Couchsurfing journey started during my Erasmus exchange in Spain — and I’ve been hooked ever since! I’m super social and love meeting new people, hearing their stories, and sharing my own. For me, it’s all about the connections.

You can find me on Instagram: @gurtes / @gurtesmag
I usually use Couchsurfing when I’m traveling solo, and I’m always up for good connections and good company.

Thanks for checking out my profile — hope we cross paths soon!

Cheers,
Gurkan

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am an explorer, I do not like explore only cities and cultures, making new friends, good memories are also part of exploration. CS is very good way of it.
