Hey there! I’m a Turco-Canadian travelling in every opportunity and love meeting new friends to exchange interesting experiences and some cool knowledge. I do like existential convos a lot too.

I adore swimming and am doing yoga since 2008. I’m pretty much-getting everyone I know into yoga cuz it’s the key to everything I swear:)

My Instagram is @ferhatsglm if you’d like to get some crawling going for more adventures there.

I studied international affairs and poli sci and then marketing at the U of Regina. I’m currently finishing up my master's in international affairs. I work for the United Nations 🇺🇳 as a Talent acquisition and outreach specialist for Europe and Central Asia under the UNDP programme. I’m back in Turkey for work, as the regional HQ is in Istanbul.

Lately, I have become a little farmer in Turkey and I also manage a lounge in Canada remotely as an advisor pretty much. That’s why, I go back n forth between Canada 🇨🇦 and Turkey 🇹🇷. Usually winter in Canada and summer in Turkey. That being said, please be my guest to both worlds 🌎 🌍 I love meeting new people and talking about life and their growth.

Finally, I smile a lot. I chase sunsets, best breakfast places (I love food. Food what keeps me in Turkey) and happy people everywhere I go. Last but not least, I trust and love life! Hope you do too!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling and meeting likeminded people to share the stories. It’s the best thing to do to meet and connect with others spiritually as well.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am one of those who used to be a metal head. Used to be a bassist in a rock band. I love rock music and classical, blues and indie rock as well. I also do love electronic music too and love dancing to good beats. I went to some big festivals and actually worked at Shambhala music fest in Canada if you ever heard of that epic fest in the woods.

I read a lot and have many fav books but existential authors like Camus and Dostoyevsky are the ones who influenced my philosophy the most.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- trying ayahuasca 🙃
- A Brooklyn rooftop experience in NYC during a music fest
- An ocean and surfing experience in San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua.
- and a pretty sweet story I have during Bob Marley’s bday in Jamaica.
