Hi, I'm Burakhan. I am student in Boğaziçi University. I believe that I am always a student not only in university but also in life, so I am open to new ideas in every subject. I enjoy sharing my own experiences and listening to and benefiting from other people's experiences. I am someone who thinks early in my life that I need to get out of my comfort zone. I'm an adventurer and I like to energize people. One of my biggest dreams is to see every country in the world and get to know every culture.
Interested in Art
Interested in Books & Literature

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I see life as a single chance to be experienced in every sense. I want to continue this one chance by meeting new people, sharing with different cultures, and gaining life experience for myself and my environment. Because I think Couchsurfing is the most suitable platform for having these experiences I’m using Couchsurfing :)
Music, Movies, and Books
Music: I listen to punk and alternative rock since childhood. but I'm open to any melody that sounds good to my ears :) Movies: Tarkovsky is the lifesetter for me so I can say that I’m the lover of art house movies. Besides, I like independent European movies. I'm a big fan of kieslowski and lanthimos Actually you can check my Letterboxd account to understand my taste. https://boxd.it/2dztn Books: I’m crazy about comics and graphic novels. Especially Eurocentric ones is the best! Manu Larcenet, Frederik Peeters and Gipi are my favorites. Besides, currently I’m making my own comic!
One Amazing Thing I've Done
When I was 17, I had an exciting 15-day cycling route from Alanya (East Antalya) to Çanakkale. In 2022, I made a 40-day hitchhiking trip from Antalya (Turkey) to Gdansk (Poland) with selling my art products. In 2024, I made a 2 month hitchhiking trip in Southeast-Asia.
