Hello there,

I’m Çağkan! Thanks for stopping by my profile.

I’m always happy to meet new people and build genuine connections. If you’re looking for a good friend, travel buddy, or just someone to share stories with, welcome!

I live alone in Istanbul, close to Emaar Square Mall on the Asian side, and I have a guest room available if my schedule allows.

I’d describe myself as friendly, open-minded, chill, and curious about life. I’m an ambivert who enjoys both deep conversations and spontaneous adventures. I really love getting to know people from different cultures and hearing their perspectives on the world.

A little about me: I’m a huge cat lover ❤️ and I work as a Technical Product Specialist at a software company here in Istanbul. Academically, I’ve had quite a journey: I studied at four universities (three bachelor’s degrees and a master’s degree), so I’m always up for learning something new and exchanging ideas.

I’m always open to new experiences, opportunities, and friendships. Let’s share some stories, laughs, or even an adventure!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m here because I love meeting people from all over the world. New friends, new stories, new laughs… that’s what makes life exciting for me. I enjoy learning new things, trying different foods, and hearing how people see the world. For me, Couchsurfing is not just about a place to stay but about sharing real moments together.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy different styles depending on the mood. I love Turkish 00s pop classics, house and club music, Turkish rap, and of course international pop hits. Sometimes I just like to relax with a DJ set or something energetic that makes me feel like I’m already on the dance floor.

I like comedy movies that make me laugh, adventures that keep me excited, crime stories that make me curious, and psychological thrillers that keep me thinking.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once went for a night swim in the ocean at Matosinhos in Porto and then slept on the beach for two hours under the stars

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my knowledge about Turkish culture, language, and also some tech tips. I’d love to learn about your culture, your language, and maybe even your favorite recipe. At the end of the day, I believe the best thing we can share is a good story.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I enjoy talking about technology, AI, travel, and self-development. I love learning new languages and I’m curious about different cultures. I can cook Turkish food for you to taste and be your guide to show you Istanbul’s beauty, culture, and nature. I also go to the gym and enjoy sharing fitness motivation. And if you’re an animal lover, we’ll get along very well.
