My name is Ender Satici and I am a friendly backpacker, travel lover and open-minded 24-year-old man. I travelled to 34 countries so far and would like to see more and meet more amazing people. I am staying with my parents (cool ones) at the moment since I recently came back to my home country -Turkey- after 6 years of living abroad. And they are okay with me to give a couch to friendly backpackers for a few nights. However, I can only host one guest at a time.

I have been in many different countries (exactly 34) and lived in 3 countries (Turkey 18, South Africa 5, Australia 1 year). I love music festivals, especially electronic dance ones! I recently went to Tomorrowland for its 15th year anniversary and it was amazing!! :)

Academically: I graduated from the University of Johannesburg with a BA Politics degree in 2016 and then, I completed a BA Joint Honours in International Relations and Political Science at the University of the Witwatersrand in 2017. Then, I moved to Australia and I have graduated from the University of Melbourne with a master’s degree in International Relations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Simply, I love travelling, meeting with new friends, learning about new cultures.
I must reiterate that I am a knowledge-hunter with a curious mind. That is why I am here!

Relocation to South Africa and then Australia for educational purposes indeed educated me and helped me to undertake more responsibilities, improved my foreign language skills and gave me a different perspective on the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love every kind of music, but especially electro and hip-hop but recently I am listening to reggae a lot.

My favourite recent music is "On the Low - Burna Boy"

My favourite movie series is "The Lord of the Rings" (I can hear that you're saying sooo classic but I love it what can I do :D)

My favourite book is Hobbit.
And now, I am reading Harry Potter series from the beginning. After finishing them up, I will begin “A Song of Ice and Fire” series!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmmm, should I say skydiving or shark cage diving? I am not sure. Both of them were amazing!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love discussing politics, history, geography and languages.
I know Turkish and English fluently. So I am happy to teach you. I have been learning Spanish for one year and would like to do some practice.
I am a great listener as well!

What I Can Share with Hosts

My company, my travel stories (sometimes crazy ones), my thoughts and Turkish deserts if you want :)
