I'm an energetic, outgoing, tree-hugger, animal-lover, sportive and supportive person who believes that life is too short to feel bad or sad. I'm really eager to meet with new people , discover the new cultures, every kinds of sports (playing or watching at stadiums), arts, and I really, really like to make someone smile and adding values to my environment. I lived in Wisconsin(2016) and Maryland(2018) for 4 months each as J1 student. I was the lifeguard buddy of awesome people there! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm not kind of a traveller who takes pictures of some columns and landscapes, drink couple things then leave the city/country. I need to meet with natives, I need to see their life style, be friends of them, hang out with them, and create the "Mert" of that country as American Mert, Korean Mert, Spanish Mert etc.

CS provides me to build my new character by hanging out as a native people with my native-friends during my travels instead of being a simple tourist with a camera and croissants.

Music, Movies, and Books

Not populars but the quality ones of these 3! I like mainly Nolan-style movies, and Marvel. I read all kinds of books and listen all types of music as soon as they are worth to spend my time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I joined to a society called ESTIEM(European Students of Industrial Engineering and Management). And step by step, it turned me into a Europe-wide leader in 3 years. l mainly worked on development of interculturality of our student NGO and it led me to meet/work with people from 31 European countries and have an impact on development of our members, and the most important one is I had awesome friends with cool memories!
