Hi! I'm Alper. I am an English-Chinese-Turkish translator. I started living in Chiang Mai this year. I would be happy to meet up for a coffee or beer to talk about what brings you here.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Adventure! Making new friends. Learning about different lifestyles. Helping each other.

Interests

I like riding motorbike. If you also like biking, we can arrange a trip together.

I would love to have an opportunity to speak Chinese or practice my broken Japanese or Korean :)

I enjoy drinking socially. I would always be happy to grab a beer and chat with other travelers.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy comedy a lot. Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Friends are my all time favourites.
I also like sci-fi. Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Back to the Future are some of my favourites.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I studied Chinese in mainland China and Taiwan for 2 years.

I majored in environmental engineering, but I work as a translator. I am so happy that I made this decision, because I enjoy dealing with languages and working freelance.
