I have traveled to 35+ countries in the past 7 years

Interests: new experiences / good vibes / intelligent conversations / things that tickle my senses / world cuisine (cooking&eating) / adrenaline / entrepreneurship&business

Timeline Bio: born in Istanbul (0-6) > grew up in New Jersey suburbs 30 minutes outside of Manhattan (6-18) > attended university in Philadelphia (18-22) > lived/worked in Manhattan (22-24) > lived/worked in Istanbul (24-26) > quit my job to travel (26-forever I wish?)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a traveler: to meet locals and to gain a deeper understanding of where I am. To find the hidden gems and the best parties

As a host: to meet and share experiences with interesting people. To give better advice than tripadvisor

Music, Movies, and Books

Grew up listening to classic rock (still my favorite)
I discover new music through Spotify
Incapable of describing music genres I enjoy nowadays... diverse
Love concerts & festivals
Shake the booty to anything with a good beat

I've watched 90%+ of IMDB's top 250 and love cult classics, but we have more interesting things to do and talk about than movies
