Looking back all the years the most significant memories are where I visited and who I met. I wanna improve this experience. I have not been around in couchsurfing for about two years.

In the past we had nice guests with Hülya who is living abroad now.

Beware the cat in the house. I think she is a beautiful girl however not everyone agrees. She is lovely to the guests.

My house is not at the heart of the city however the neighborhood is quite calm. The guest will have a separate bathroom. I am neither vegan nor vegetarian however I don't buy meat for home. Thus at home the meals are vegetarian we can say.

I would love to visit the art galleries with you in Izmir if there is any exhibition in the case I have time. There are a couple of nice galleries in Izmir which hosts temporary exhibitions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Once I was planning going to Berlin. I activated a couchsurfing account to stay in Berlin. I leaved a message there. No one turned back. I didn't send anyone in Berlin if they would like to host me. I stayed at a motel and turned back to my hometown İzmir. Then didn't closed this account. I am waiting for nice and open-minded people who would like to see İzmir.

Music, Movies, and Books

In the end of 2020 I began listening a Russian pop - hip hop - reggae band. This is interesting because mostly I listen to classical jazz hits like Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, etc.

There are some films I extremely like and have watched a bunch of times. Nowadays I don't wanna add new ones not to lose my taste :)

The pandemic increased the interest in epidemiology and public health which is a topic I have some idea!
