Hi! I'm Hilal — originally from Turkey, currently discovering life in France. I’m someone who loves meeting people from different cultures, hearing their stories, and sharing experiences that make travel more meaningful.

I'm curious, easygoing, and always up for good conversation — whether it’s over tea, walking through a city I’ve never seen before, or just sitting on a balcony watching the world go by. I try to live simply and kindly, and I really value honesty, respect, and connection.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that travel is more meaningful when it’s shared. I’m not just looking for a free place to stay — I’m here because I love the idea of exchanging cultures, experiences, and kindness with people from around the world.

Couchsurfing makes it possible to see a city through local eyes, have real conversations, and build connections that go beyond tourist spots and hotel rooms. Every host or guest I meet is a chance to learn something new — about the world and about myself.

I also enjoy hosting or helping out when I can, because I know how special it is to feel welcomed in a new place. For me, this platform is about trust, generosity, and creating a global sense of community.
