Hi everyone, I am Çağlayan from Turkey. I am new here.

I have been traveling for years but did not do so much couchsurfing. Now I am working as clinical research coordinator and love traveling at weekends. My home is open to anyone that wants to stay 1-2 night. Please feel free to send a message.

I like to play chess and cook something new. Especially meeting new people is always exciting for me because every person is like a book.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel around the world and learn new cultures. I am willing to host anyone who I can accomodate and would love to share something.

Especially I want to make some friends in the world. I have some penpals and like to continue having new friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite books are "Neuroscience" by Dale Purves, Improbable by Adam Fawer and Neuromarketing by Patrick Renvoise.

Favorite movie is certainly "Eyes Wide Shut" directed by Stanley Kubrick.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rided bicycle 140 km in one day without a break. This was an amazing experience. I just stopped to drink water and eat something to get energy. Riding bicycle is great sport!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some Turkish sentences to couchsurfers and cook some meals. Now actively I am learning German. The last book I read in German is "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". Immediately I began to read Das Perfume in German.

I am very good at chess. I can teach you some tactics in chess. I am sure you will love them.

What I Can Share with Hosts

One of things that I can share is the stories about our culture and the culture of host. Also we can exchange some life experiences about the college and work.
