I traveled for many years by hitchhiking and camping. Nowadays, I lead a more settled life in İzmir, my hometown. I work from home and run an e-commerce business. I would describe myself as open-minded, calm, respectful, initially shy but talkative once I get comfortable. Having conversations with people from different cultures, especially deep ones, has always felt like an alternative form of therapy for me. That's why I enjoy platforms like Couchsurfing.

Hosting: I live in a small house, so I can only host guests for a short period. Suitable for a couple or solo traveler. Please send me a message a few days in advance.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I swim in the sea almost every winter, at least once a month.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've been interested in photography for quite a while. I can help you with that. I can both teach and take your photos. (Everyone needs good photos to share on Instagram🐨)

I love chatting about general knowledge. I'd like to learn about things from your culture, and likewise, I can share mine. Discussing topics like philosophy and sociology is also a great pleasure for me.

Countries I’ve Visited
