Being open-minded is really important for me. I don't care who you love or how you look like physically; I care if you are respectful and kind hearted to others.

Hi! My name is Cem and I am a Cardiologist at Marmara University Training and Research Hospital. It was easy to be student, but the work is very intense and chaotic as you guess. Couchsurfing is always a good shelter for me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on here because I value experiential learning, new ideas and getting out of my comfort zone. I’m not as interested in seeing the tourist attractions as I am in meeting the people and experiencing the cultures of new places.

To be honest, although friendship is very very important in my life, I always looked forward to travel on my own and meet new people from all over the world. Life is an adventure and that's why I am chasing it!

When I look at my past, I see that I made very good friends thanks to Couchsurfing and I believe It will continue to be like this.

Interests

Scuba diving, Definitely a must-do! Getting out from the land and diving into the water and hearing only your own breathing. Very calming and soul balancing experience.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To begin diving with thalassophobia! (Overcoming my thalassophobia!! )

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to open a beer bottle using with another one:) I grew up playing classical guitar, so I can show some little chord tricks.

I can show some basics salsa steps. I suppose it will be very enough for little demonstration:)

I believe that we mature not only by age but also by people and experiences that we surround ourselves with. Couchsurfing is an amazing opportunity about sharing different cultures, lifes and thoughts.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am not a kind of people who uses couchsurfing just for accomodation!
Thoughts and time, those are the most valuable things for sharing!

Also I am not bad at cooking, so It's a real chance to taste Turkish foods:)
