I'm Gökberk, living in Germany, drifting somewhere between research and stories. I’m a postdoctoral scientist by title but I feel most alive when I’m lost in unfamiliar cities, hiking in magnificent landscapes, having unexpected late-night conversations, dancing in spontaneous concerts-parties, being inside books that feel like confessions or arthouse films haunt me for months.
I love early swims in the sea, late night kiosk beers, good red wine (Rioja and Ventoux would be best) and museums that swallow time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

to share moments across different places. To learn how people from other countries live, think, and laugh in their corners of the world. If we end up as friends, even better.
