Hey there! I’m Arda, a computer science student from Turkey. I love exploring new cultures, meeting people from different backgrounds, and immersing myself in local life. As a queer traveler, I’m always interested in discovering LGBTQ+ history, nightlife, and safe spaces around the world.

I’ve been with my amazing boyfriend for over many years, and sometimes we travel together. Whether solo or with friends, I love experiencing cities beyond the touristy spots—local cafés, indie bookstores, underground music scenes, and queer-friendly events are my favorite places to be!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really love the idea of this app, it is connecting cultures together very naturally. I want to exchange our experiences and learn from you! Hopefully, you could learn from me too.
