Hi! I'm Ali "a Turkish dude". In the past, I had lived in different countries because of my study. "a year in Czech Republic as an exchange student for my bachelor and in Australia for my masters.". I'd travelled for a bit aorund the Europe and Australia so far and I loved it! I really like travelling and I believe that the best way of it is backpacking! Meeting with new people while exploring new places and cultures is a passion for me.

Okay serious informations about me :) ;
-I'm 25 years old, mechanical engineer, easy-going, pretty chill guy.
-I've just came back to my country"Turkey" after living and travelling 3 years abroad. Now I live in Izmir.
-I'm working as an engineer now but I've done all those backpacker jobs like waiting staff, bartending, flyer distributing, fruid picking etc. while I was travelling.. So I believe, I have got some stupid/funny stories to share.:)
-I have my own flat with a house mate who is just like me:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

During my travels, I had always had that feeling "I need to communicate with locals to share their culture and learn the best places to see.". I guess this is a common consideration among travellers. And couchsurfing provides us this contact with ease and trust. And there is no point to pay for accommodation instead of sharing experience, culture while occupying just a couch :) So if you want to come to my town "Izmir", you are more than welcome! I'm looking forward to meet with you and show the city if I have time after hours..
