Hi! I’m a medical doctor from Turkey with a big passion for the mountains. I’m an avid mountaineer and feel most alive when I’m out in nature whether it’s climbing, hiking, or simply watching the sunrise from a mountain peak and taking photos of beautiful landscapes. One of my biggest dreams is to climb K2 in my 40s!

I get excited about meeting like minded people who love the outdoors and enjoy sharing adventures together. I believe great connections are built through shared experiences, and the outdoors is the perfect place for that. I live in Istanbul with my beloved cat, and I’d love to welcome travelers into my home. Hosting people from different backgrounds, sharing Turkish food and culture, and learning about other ways of life truly inspires me.

If you’re up for it, we could go rock climbing or horseback riding together or just have a good chat over some home-cooked Turkish dishes. Looking forward to connecting with kind souls from around the world!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I see it as a great opportunity to meet people from different cultures who share similar passions. I believe learning from people is one of the most fun and natural ways to learn about life itself.
