Hey! I'm Kaan since 1989 from Istanbul. I like traveling and learning new cultures. I lived in Warsaw for 3 years and I lived in Hamburg for 3,5 years. Now living in Istanbul. I am very easygoing and cheerful person. I do not smoke (actually social smoker I am) but I respect smokers. If you have a couch for me, I would like to share my foods and also we can go out for some beers. I like to talk about photography, art, sports, books and a little bit politics. I'm 100% fan of Weissbier and Fritz-Kola :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really keen on different cultures. Foods, habits, history and life thoughts. Namely, not only sharing a couch is important, but also sharing our cultures and new views are important as well.
