Hello, fellow explorers and creators!

My name is Abdullah Karataş, a 25-year-old recent graduate in Chemical Engineering from Ege University in beautiful Izmir, Turkey. While I do love my scientific studies, my interests and talents extend far beyond the world of chemistry. I am currently doing an internship at the University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague.

I am a passionate music producer, spending countless hours creating unique and engaging soundscapes. My love for music doesn't stop at production; I find great joy in sharing my work and discussing the intricacies of music with others who are as passionate as I am.

But there's more to me than just my musical endeavors. I also have a keen interest in the visual arts, with collage-making being a favorite pastime of mine. The ability to take various pieces and create a cohesive, beautiful image is a process I find incredibly fulfilling. Additionally, I am into photography and video shooting which I blend with my skills in graphic design. Capturing moments, emotions and landscapes and translating them into stills or motion pictures is something I am truly passionate about.

My fascination extends to the world of cinema as well, both in artistic and technical dimensions. I am captivated by the way a story can unfold on the screen and how various cinematic techniques can enhance the storytelling process.

As much as I love creating, I am also a curious explorer. Travelling and meeting new people from different walks of life is something I deeply enjoy. I believe that everyone has a unique story and learning from each other's experiences adds value to our own journey.

So, if you are looking for someone to exchange ideas on music, visual arts, cinema or just want to share travel stories, I am more than happy to be that person. Let's enrich each other's journeys!

Looking forward to meeting you all!
Abdullah

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I truly believe in the power of human connection and shared experiences. Through my travels, I aim to go beyond just sightseeing and truly immerse myself in the cultures and communities I visit. By connecting with locals, I get to experience life from their perspective, gain valuable insights, and broaden my understanding of the world.

Moreover, I am eager to share my home town, Izmir, with travelers as well. I love showing people around my city, sharing its stories, and revealing its hidden gems.

Couchsurfing also provides an amazing platform to share and exchange knowledge and interests. As someone passionate about music, visual arts, cinema, and travel, I am always excited to learn from others and share my own experiences and skills.

In short, I'm on Couchsurfing to build meaningful connections, learn, grow, share, and make the world a little bit smaller by fostering a sense of global community.

音乐、电影和书籍

My favorite books, music, and movies are quite diverse, reflecting different aspects of my tastes and interests.

Starting with literature, 'The Book of Disquiet' by Fernando Pessoa holds a special place in my heart. This masterwork of existential literature, filled with Pessoa's unique philosophical insights, speaks to me on a profound level and never ceases to stimulate my thoughts and feelings.

When it comes to music, I have eclectic tastes, spanning genres like post-rock, indie hip hop, and soul. I love the atmospheric and expansive soundscapes of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, the creativity and raw emotion in Tyler the Creator's work, the soulful and resonating voice of C.S Armstrong, and the psychedelic pop-rock mastery of Tame Impala. Each of these artists offers something different, providing a rich and diverse soundtrack to my life.

As for films, 'Perfume: The Story of a Murderer' holds a unique allure for me, with its narrative intricacy and sensory detail. I'm also a big fan of 'The Lighthouse', which I find fascinating for its exploration of psychological tension and masterful use of black and white imagery. And, of course, '2001: A Space Odyssey' is a classic that continues to impress me with its visionary approach to science fiction and its profound existential themes. These films have left indelible marks on my imagination and continue to inspire me.

So, in essence, my favorites revolve around in-depth introspection, creative exploration, and profound narratives, regardless of whether they come through in words, music, or film.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么
