Hello dear Surfer, this is Couch Planet of Ferhat😀.

I am an easy-going and open-minded traveler. I am Kurdish and bilingual with languages of Turkish and Kurdish. I grew up as a Kurdish but I also know Turkish language and culture since I lived in beautiful country of Turkey for 20 years. I have been living in US for two years. Every culture, language, tradition, life, smile, greeting, story is making my travel precious. After seeing a city with my CS friend, the memories become unforgettable and meaningful.

I look forward to have same feelings for you as well. I am curious almost about anything so I can't wait to know about you, your life and city too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- I hitchiked with my friend from Mardin to Antalya which was more than 1.000 km. It took 8 days and we got ride from 39 cars( yes we counted😂) My phone was stolen by a thief then I found myself chasing him in a neighborhood God knows where at 10 pm. ( The rest is funnier so if you’re curious, just let me know and to be continued when we see each other😂) This one was both exhausting and amazing.

- I flew to United States 2020 summer. I worked as a counselor in summer camp. That was my first foreign country with an amazing experience!
