My name is Mahmut. I'm a University student. I study law. My interest in traveling started right before the pandemic. It was my first experience and I was in abroad about for a month. I traveled Malta and Italy. That was the spark that started everlasting fire :) By the time I got into University I started to save money for traveling. I've been to Austria with my best friend and made a road trip to Balkans with my friend group at the same year. I'm fluent in English and actively learning german.

As a person who lives in İstanbul I always try to help around travleres and tourists. It might be wrong but experiencing the city I'm in as much as a local is my goal. This app gives the opportunity to meet people who thinks a like me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
