Hi 🤗
It's Bahar and Ömer
We are a couple. We've met in 2023 in our university's backpackers club. At the first two months of our relationship we've lived in a tent, we've camped at beatufiul costs of our country (Türkiye), and we've hitchhiked to everywhere! After those first two months we've traveled every summer break for 2-3 months, and last summer we've started our longest trip after graduation. It has been 6 months since we've left our country to explore the world, and we are planning not to go back to our country at least 1,5 year more.

Currenty we are traveling in Asia: We've started from South Korea and then have been to Japan, Vietnam, Thailand and we are visiting Malaysia right now.
We are 24 (Bahar) and 22 (Omer) years old. This is the first time in our lives we've traveled this far.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We are hungry to learn and explore. And Couchsurfing is one of the things we need! We think we have so much to learn from you guys! Because there are so much different lives out there, and every one of us has a different and unique perspective to the world!
