Hello! I'm Anıl Esen, and am an active member of the Young Turkish Travelers Club, centrally located in our town. Our hub serves as a library of travel books, a meeting point for travelers, and a miniature museum of sorts. We even host school visits to spread the love for traveling.

Upon confirmation of your stay, I'll provide detailed directions and other necessary information via WhatsApp to ensure a smooth arrival.

We're keen on having our guests actively participate in our club activities and home life. We believe Couchsurfing transcends mere accommodation—it's about sharing experiences, assisting one another, and learning from each other. We hope for more than guests who return late only to sleep, shut the door, and spend hours on the phone. Here, we value the essence of community and the exchange of cultures.

Looking forward to sharing stories and learning from each other!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am the manager of the Turkish Travellers Club. Together with my fellow club members, we aim to broaden individuals' horizons, encouraging them to explore new places and forge meaningful connections with diverse individuals.To date, our club has warmly welcomed approximately 206 travellers from 50 distinct countries. (We cherish each encounter, documenting them in a special guest notebook.)

Travel, as we see it, is a magnificent teacher. It sharpens problem-solving skills, nurtures an appreciation for cultural diversity, enhances communication abilities, and aids in language development.I invite you to delve into our club’s endeavors on our website: Turkish Travellers Club.

Your stay will be at our cherished museum house, where a comfortable room awaits you. Rest assured, there's no obligation to work for us, nor any payment required.Should we orchestrate any activities during your visit, you're more than welcome to join in.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Our members have been into all the states of Africa(54 of them) including the Cape Verde, Lesotho, St. Tomo and Principe, Burundi.

We always want to renew ourselves, get new ideas from young travellers and try to apply them in my own life. To be creative, to learn more and to have some friends all over the world. To share cultures, to be able to practice different languages.

Teach, Learn, Share

I play some riffs from oldies with my guitar,
Maybe we can sing like Elvis Presley,
Also I tell mythical stories about İstanbul,
