Hello! I am Turkish grad student living in Troy, NY.

I like to learn more about the places I travel, not just sightseeing. I may walk along the streets for hours if I have time.

I don't drink or smoke. I love cats as most of the Turkish people do.

Huge basketball fan, both NBA and European.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's hard to make the most of a place when traveling in a limited time. So CS is a good way to meet local people, get advices and share my culture if they are interested.

Interests

• basketball
• soccer
• history

Music, Movies, and Books

I just listen whatever if I like the rhythm but American-rap is at top of my list I guess. Kendrick, Logic, and I miss the old Kanye.

I do watch TV shows more than movies. Person of Interest and Louie are the favorites.

I like to read articles on a wide scale to learn more on my interests. Basketball, machine learning and recent history are some subjects that I read most.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can talk about basketball for hours or little bit about machine learning. I like to share my Turkish culture while drinking Turkish tea. It's fun to talk about previous travels and experiences. Likewise, I am a good listener and always open to learn.
