Hey !

As you can see my name is Alp and i was born and raised in Istanbul. Last year, I moved to Budapest for my master education. Apart from my Budapest experience I've been in almost everywhere in Europe and during my BA education, I ve particapated to some International Events such as youth camps, Eu conferences etc. I can speak English fluently and some German (but trying to improve it nowadays). I ve been playin guitar for 10 years, so theorically I'm sharing my flat with them :))

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Like all the people in this website, I'd like to get to know other cultures and for sure to introduce mine.

Interests

Culinary is my second greatest interest after music. I'm very into Turkish cuisine and Italian a bit. After I moved here,I learned some Hungarian recipes as well :) But dont expect to have Goulash :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Authors : James Joyce, Jürgen Habermas, Halil İnalcık, Albert Camus, Max Weber, Emrah Serbes, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Emile Zola and so and so.

My favourite musicians list is just so long but I love to listen and play blues and rock. As a guitarist; Eric Clapton, John Frusciante, John Mayer, David Gilmour, Django Reinhardt and Eric Johnson are my idols.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was born.

Teach, Learn, Share

Budapest is an amazing city and there are millions of things to do here. I can clearly say that I ve never seen such an alive city before (including big eu capitals like Paris, Berlin and Amsterdam). When i first came here i was following the tips in city guides but they just reccomend commercial things and they dont reflect the truth. In actual fact here is 100 times better and you can just enjoy it with a local person.
