A philosophy soul from Istanbul, now calling Berlin home. I’ve recently transitioned from the vibrant energy of Istanbul to the creative pulse of Berlin. My spouse and I live here together, both working from home, which gives us the flexibility to pursue our real passion: exploring as many new places and cultures as we possibly can.

I’m a total extrovert who believes the best way to connect is through a good joke and shared laughter. I find a lot of joy in meeting new people and hearing the unique stories everyone carries. I’ve lived a fast-paced life and love exchanging experiences with anyone I meet along the way.

I don’t just like cats, I adore them. Back at our home base in Berlin, we have a ginger king named İbo. He’s a legend in his own right, and I’ve dedicated a good portion of my photo section to him. If you need a quick serotonin boost, I highly recommend checking out his pictures!

Since my spouse and I usually travel together, we bring a balanced, respectful energy to every home. We are tidy, appreciative of quiet "office hours" (since we work remotely ourselves), and always happy to share a meal or a story in exchange for your hospitality.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Me and my lovely spouse Ioana are planning to see as many places around the world. While doing this, we would like to make new friends and share our stories with them.

I also have a spare couch in Berlin which I can offer to the fellow couchsurfers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jumping over fences and nude swimming in the university's outdoor swimming pool at midnight because it was not allowed.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Turkish in exchange with learning your native language! Also, I am an ambitious drumming teacher, so if you are willing to learn, I can show you some tricks!

Other than that, I am a good cook, too. I can cook you Turkish food and show you how it's made.

Lots of jokes and laughs, my experiences, my music, Turkish food that I cook.
