Currently I'm a 2nd year PhD student at McGill university in Montréal. My background originally roots on the land of Anatolia, and practically on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus, in which I spent my last 8 years before settling in Montreal. I also call Portland, OR as home, where I lived for a year, during which my soul resonated highly with the people and the nature of it.

During my so far lifelong experience, I came to realize that I enjoy life to the most as I learn. That's one reason I'm currently on CS; meeting up with new people, sharing stories, having fun together and exchanging cultures. Turns out, meeting new people is one of the best teachers that not only expands new horizons, but also to have fun at the same time!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Captured a lightning with a shape of a heart. Called it as "the heart of the storm". You can see it in my gallery! For more: 500px.com/furkanercan

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always open for learning new words from other languages. Can't imagine how much it helps on meeting with new people! In return, I can teach back in Turkish and a little bit in Farsi on demand.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A cozy place to sleep, companionship based on my schedule, and Turkish hospitality!
