I'm a foodie, working in the food industry. I can get really nerdy when it comes to food and spirits. After living in Bangkok for 3 years I am now back in my hometown Istanbul. It feels like a reverse culture shock to be back.

I have several stuff I'm doing on the side, like writing and researching about spirits, learning to be a winemaker, and making electronic music (that rarely sounds electronic) in my bedroom. All hobbies at this point.

I try to be a traveler, not a tourist when I'm abroad. I have made amazing connections all around the world while traveling thanks to this attitude.

I, unfortunately, can't host anyone at the moment because I live like a nomad. But once I get back to my steady life, I'll get back at it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Trip-hop, Indie, Nujazz according to my Spotify wrapped.
Movie: My taste in movies can be terrible. I tend to like a lot of really different things.
Books: Usually research stuff. I can get lost reading about things that interest me but for some reason I can't keep concentrating anymore while reading actual books.

Teach, Learn, Share

If it has to do with food and spirits, I either know it or am eager to learn it.
