Hey there!
I’m Mert I’m 27 years old and I live in Turkey/İzmir. Traveling, discovering new places, and meeting different cultures are some of the things that really excite me. But most importantly, I love connecting with people and spending time together! Every trip is not just about exploring new places, but also about seeing life from different perspectives.

I love scuba diving – exploring the underwater world gives me such a peaceful feeling. If you’re not into diving, but you like water sports, I’d be down for doing something fun together. Kitesurfing, surfing, or sailing… All of it is a blast!

I’m also into video games, especially strategy games. If you’re a gamer, we could totally hang out and play something together one evening! :)

Learning languages is another thing I enjoy. I’m still working on improving my English, and sometimes I find it a bit tricky to understand and speak, but I’m always open to learning and would love to practice with you. So, if you're patient and willing to help me with my language skills, I’d really appreciate it!

Festivals are a huge part of my life. Music and cultural festivals give me so much energy. Being in a crowd, having fun, and sharing experiences with others is something really special to me.

I’m also a big fan of watching films and TV shows. I’ll pretty much watch anything, but I usually get hooked on a series and finish it in a couple of days. If you have any favorites, I’d love to hear about them!

In short, I’m here because I want to meet new people and make some great memories. For me, traveling is not just about seeing new places, but also about connecting with others. If you’d like to grab a coffee, have some great conversations, or share a new adventure, feel free to drop me a message!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing not just to find a place to stay, but to meet new people, experience different cultures, and truly connect. When I travel, what matters most to me is forming meaningful connections, listening to people’s stories, and spending quality time together. For me, this platform is not just about accommodation; it’s about making new friendships, having great conversations, and inspiring each other. If you're open to meeting new people, sharing cultures, and expanding perspectives, I’d love to spend time together!
