Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love making friends here there and anywhere! In my short and long stays abroad, I came across lots of amazing people and the spontaneousness of growing connections with them amazed me every time. It's been more than 6 years since I started to live in Istanbul for my university education and I am one these lucky people who still can see the unique beauty of this city, through all its chaos. It'll be great to pass this passion to travelers! I've been familiar to Couchsurfing by way of my friends, and recently, I moved to an apartment at a central location - finally got ready to host guests! And same for changing my hostel habit to this platform, on my next trips.

Music, Movies, and Books

Whatever I write here about music is gonna sound too much.. Here we go: I just can’t think my life apart from it. My taste varies a lot, and indie rock has the most of share. I love too many bands but Beach House has a special meaning in my personal history. Also, their concerts were one of the main reasons why I visited some of the countries which you'll read below. I am a close follower of cinema industry and a fan of the film festivals in Istanbul. I've seen Laurence Anyways at a festival in 2013 and since then, I reply with it when someone asks my favorite movie. So, this is the era of streaming shows and I am also a big fan of BoJack Horseman.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well, I am a real foodie.. I grew up in a city which is well known for its cuisine, also visited (and of course ate in) many cities of Turkey. So, you can trust my suggestions on your new food experiences.
I will also be knowing about cultural events happening on the city, if you'll ask. Or, I'll ask you to come with me to one of them.
