Hello, I'm Emre, a 22 year old event specialist based in Istanbul. I'm open-minded and always eager to embrace new experiences. Passionate about exploring diverse cultures, I enjoy making connections and forming friendships while traveling to various destinations. This not only enhances my language skills but also provides me with valuable experiences. I graduated from Nişantaşı University with a degree in Sports Management, ranking second in my class. Simultaneously, I am a fourth-year student in the Exercise and Sports Sciences program at Istanbul University. Currently, I work as an Event Management staff member at IBB Spor Istanbul Events Directorate and also serve as a swimming coach. Additionally, I actively participate in sports events as a volunteer, showcasing my teamwork, communication, and leadership skills. As an enthusiast of extreme sports such as skiing, windsurfing, diving, kiteboarding, snowboarding, and scuba diving, I relish exploring new places, attending parties and festivals, and forming quick, warm-hearted connections. While discovering new destinations, I find joy in making friends and hope to share the beauty of Istanbul with them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Among the main reasons I aspire to use Couchsurfing is the desire to delve deeply into the local cultures of the places I travel to. This platform offers the opportunity to experience not only as a tourist but also by staying in the homes of locals, providing a genuine local experience. Additionally, Couchsurfing allows me to meet different people worldwide, fostering warm friendships. Its economical aspect serves as a travel-friendly option, enabling me to travel while keeping my budget intact. The guidance from hosts allows me to explore the surroundings of where I stay and discover more authentic experiences beyond tourist attractions. Couchsurfing stands out as a platform rooted in a culture of trust and sharing, offering a social experience that promotes intercultural exchange and understanding.
