I'm Berat, 25 and currently in Istanbul.
I'm a keen traveler aiming to visit half the world by the time I'm 35—28 countries done, many more to go! I'm easily adaptable and find true joy in immersing myself in new cultures and making friends from all corners of the globe. I'm someone who values freedom, integrity, and mindfulness. My curiosity for new things adds excitement to my life, and I look forward to sharing stories and experiences with you.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I enjoy getting to know new cultures and meeting new people. I'm here to increase my cultural interactions. I believe that the best way to understand a place's culture is by interacting with the people who live there. Additionally, I want to make friends in the countries I visit and complete my world map. My goal is to achieve these objectives here.

音乐、电影和书籍

My taste in music is incredibly diverse
I genuinely listen to whatever sounds good to my ears at the moment, so my playlist changes constantly!

On the book front, I owe my reading habit to Adam Fawer’s Improbable, which was the book that got me started.

As for movies and TV, I have a rather weak memory for titles and plots, which means I happily find myself re-watching my favorite films (like Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo) again and again. I'm always open to new recommendations :)

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Beyond being a respectful and flexible guest, I aim to contribute positively to your home and time. I'd be happy to share some of my cooking skills and give you a genuine taste of Turkish cuisine, or at least share some local recipes with you. I can also offer personal recommendations and tips on where to go and what to do if you ever plan a trip to Türkiye. I genuinely enjoy having meaningful conversations and sharing personal stories that might offer a different perspective. If we happen to have common interests, I'm always open to doing activities together, perhaps going for a local walk, visiting a museum, or checking out a neighborhood event, making the stay a truly shared experience.
