Hello everyone, I’m Barış from İstanbul. 🙂 Currently, I'm studying politics at Marmara University. I REALLY LOVE POLITICS 🤓 I hope I can be a truthful politician one day :)

I joined the Erasmus programme at Universität Potsdam, Germany in 2017. This experience contributed me a lot of things!

If you interested: I'm more close to left-liberal ideology 😀😀

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is not just about hosting or being hosted. It is about meeting new people, discover together and having new experiences!

I'm very easy going and open-minded person, so you should never hesitate! :)

But at the same time, I am very shy in the beginning when I meet someone new. But soon later I become a very warm and friendly person :D

Interests

I have an chocolate package collection. I am collecting chocolate packages around the world. I currently have 316 package in my collection.

258 from Turkey
49 from Germany
9 from Czechia

Teach, Learn, Share

When I came to Berlin, Germany for the first time, it was very struggling to accommodate myself to the German culture, lifestyle, rules etc. I sometimes felt alone in the society, it was difficult sometimes, I had to admit.

But after a year, I am used to this and became more compatible. I learned many things thus I'm influenced by German people. 🙂

******

By the way, I have a great interest in the languages. I love all of them and believe that all are precious and equal and worth to learn! (Especially the languages are spoken by a group of minority people)

I must say that there are more than 30 languages in Turkey. Unfortunately only Turkish is the national language. It makes me sad. So I'm very protective about languages. I like to discuss how can we save and improve other languages :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook delicious Turkish breakfast to you :) Many of my foreigner friends love the Anatolian cuisine. 😛
