Hi! I'm Eylem — a curious solo traveler who loves exploring the world one ride at a time. I often travel by hitchhiking, embracing the road and the unexpected connections it brings. I'm originally from Turkey but currently living in Belgium for my PhD studies in communication and politics. I enjoy learning from different cultures, hearing people's stories, and sharing good conversations over a warm meal or coffee. Always happy to exchange travel tips and local insights!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing because I believe travel is not just about places, but about people. As a solo traveler and hitchhiker, I love connecting with locals, sharing experiences, and learning about cultures from the inside. Couchsurfing creates a space for authentic human connection, which is something I value deeply — both in my travels and in life. It's also a beautiful way to give and receive kindness across borders.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share stories from the road, good conversation, and lots of positive energy! I'm always happy to cook a simple meal from Turkey, exchange music or book recommendations, and talk about travel, culture, and so on. I'm also a respectful guest — I value people's space and routines, and I’m always willing to help out around the house
