Hello!

My name is Murat and I am a traveller who loves meeting new people and discovering different cultures while travelling around the world. Since I started travelling and living in my home country, I have been enjoying the unique experiences that Couchsurfing offers.

Couchsurfing for me is not only an accommodation option, but also a great way to build bridges between people 💫 Communicating with local people, learning traditions and making new friendships makes my travelling experiences more special 🤝🌍. In the same way, hosting guests from different cultures in my home helps me to better understand the world and share the tolerance in my home.

As a guest, I take care to be a clean and tidy guest. I love to cook my own meals and am always open to discovering local flavours. At the same time, I enjoy spending time with my hosts, but I also respect personal space. 🏡🤗

If you accept me as a guest, you gain not only a place to stay, but also a local guide and friend 👥🏞️ I would also like to share my culture, experiences and interests with you.

Being part of the Couchsurfing community has been a great experience for me and I look forward to meeting new people 🛋️🌎 If you would like to contribute to my Couchsurfing experience or travel with me, please contact me.

I would be happy to join Couchsurfing, which gives me the opportunity to meet travellers from all over the world!

Best regards
Murat

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A few of the reasons why I prefer Couchsurfing are that it makes travelling more affordable, offers the opportunity to experience local culture more closely, gives the chance to meet new people and make friends around the world, makes the travel experience more personal and meaningful, and satisfies the desire to explore different lifestyles.
