Hi, I’m Mehdi. I’m a calligraphy artist and designer, originally from Iran and currently based in Istanbul. I love meaningful conversations, art, and the quiet beauty of words. My work is deeply connected to language, culture, and human stories.

I enjoy hosting and sharing space with people who are respectful, open-minded, and curious about different cultures. For me, Couchsurfing is not just about a place to stay, but about human connection, shared moments, and exchanging experiences.

In my free time, you’ll usually find me drawing letters, listening to music, riding my motorcycle, or walking through the city. I appreciate simple things: good food, thoughtful talks, and peaceful energy at home.

You’re very welcome if you’re looking for a calm, creative space and a genuine cultural exchange.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing because I believe travel is about people, not just places. I enjoy meeting open-minded individuals, sharing stories, and creating meaningful moments through cultural exchange. Hosting and being hosted remind me how simple human connection can turn ordinary days into memorable experiences.
