I started hosting surfers till December 2015 and after nearly one year my couch occupied every night. This is awesome (: I'm trying to answer all of the requests. I stop hosting last 2 years because my life getting harder and busy so I couldn't find any time to spend with mu guests.

I moved new place, This one small and lovely I have a guest room with a couch so I can host 1 person each time or 2 who can sleep same couch together (:

I have only one bathroom with toilet so we have to share.

I'm living my girl friend and his dog and my cat. Please be sure that you're ok with cats and dogs. Btw, they are very friendly and kind also loves guests more then us (:

I'm living Asian side of İstanbul call it Acıbadem, it's very close to Kadıkoy 5 mins with public transportation or 20 mins walk and also very near to metro station which is connected with airport (IST) and close to Üsküdar too. Kadıköy is the best place to met local people and safer then Taksim also has great nightlife.

I'm working a e-commerce company as IT manager. I'm travelling since 2012 and since then I visited over 33 countries and 150 cities around the world.

I meet with Servas and CF at 2011 and since then I'm hosting travelers all around the world.

I started to scuba diving at 2002 and also start to learn Latin dances same year. Since then I tried many outdoor sports like trekking, hiking, snowboarding and winter camping.

I'm member of underwater cleaning association in Turkey (http://www.sth.org.tr/)

Recently sailing is my favorite activity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet new people and share experiences. I believe that you can't learn anything about a city without meet people who are actually lives and works in that city.
