I'm Burak, originally an Electronics Engineer but currently a digital content manager in Ankara. So you can tell that I'm quite an adventurer, not afraid to start over for new beginnings. I mean it...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to meet new people, learn anything different than I could possibly encounter in my daily life. Visit the places that I cannot ever find as a regular tourist, also help others to see Ankara's not-so-many-yet-interesting attractions.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visiting Sad Hill Cemetery near Burgos and reaching there by only hitchhiking were beyond words. Yes, I'm a die-hard The Good, The Bad and The Ugly fan.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Chance to see all over Ankara either with public transportation or -preferrably- on foot. Chat on many different subjects, including books, movies and sports.
