Hello world!
This is Merter, a 28 year old full time sales engineer, part time local food guide.
I come from a small city named Aydin, which Greek thinker Heredot once said “The nicest place under the sky”.
I was lucky enough to be born near Ephesus and grow up with the best possible climate in the world, which I would love to show you.
I did my studies near another lovely place called Pamukkale in Turkey, then moved to London for my first work experience and found myself in Izmir as a bachelor.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I want to show how amazing Turkey is especially when it comes to food, nightlife and history.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like anything with a good beat but if I had to choose, I would pick Deep house, 90s and instrumental first.

When it comes to movies, Martin Scorsese movies are my favourite.

If I am turning the pages quickly, that means I am enjoying the book. I prefer books relate to my development and my work.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I live in Izmir for a long time and spend decent time outside, so I can give you great guidance for eating, museums, shopping, anything that a guest would benefit to know.
I am pretty familiar with these areas:
-Kusadasi
-Selçuk (Ephesus)
-Çesme
-Şirince
-Pamukkale
-Didim
