About Me

Hi there! My name is Omer and I'm an avid traveler who loves to explore new cultures and meet new people. I've been lucky enough to travel to several countries and experience their unique customs, traditions, and cuisines.

I'm a friendly, easy-going person who enjoys making new friends and learning about their lives. I'm always up for an adventure, whether it's trying out a new restaurant, going on a hike, or simply exploring a new city.

When it comes to hosting, I'm happy to share my home with fellow travelers and offer tips and advice on the best local spots to visit. I believe that Couchsurfing is a wonderful platform that allows us to connect with people from all over the world and create meaningful friendships that last a lifetime.

If you're looking for a welcoming host who can show you the best of what my city has to offer, don't hesitate to send me a message. I look forward to meeting you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing because I believe that travel is about more than just visiting new places; it's about connecting with people from different backgrounds and learning about their unique perspectives.

Couchsurfing provides a unique opportunity to do just that - to meet locals, make new friends, and experience a destination through the eyes of someone who calls it home. It allows us to break down cultural barriers and learn about the world in a way that simply can't be done from a guidebook or hotel room.

As a traveler, I've had some incredible experiences staying with locals through Couchsurfing. From learning to cook traditional meals to exploring hidden gems that only locals know about, I've gained insights and memories that I'll cherish for a lifetime.

Now, as a host, I'm excited to pay it forward and offer the same kind of hospitality to fellow travelers. Whether you're looking for a place to crash for a night or hoping to connect with someone who can show you the best of what my city has to offer, I'm happy to open my home and share my experiences with you.

Overall, I believe that Couchsurfing is a fantastic way to expand our horizons and create meaningful connections with people from all over the world. I'm grateful for the experiences I've had through this platform and look forward to many more in the future.

Music, Movies, and Books

When it comes to music, I enjoy a wide range of genres, but I tend to gravitate towards indie rock, folk, and electronic. Some of my favorite artists include Still Corners, Mac DeMarco, The Smiths, Beach House, Mazzy Star, and Tame Impala. I'm always on the lookout for new music to discover, so I'm open to any recommendations you might have!

As for movies, I'm a big fan of independent and foreign films that explore complex themes and characters. Some of my all-time favorites include "The Man From Earth", "The Terminal", "Forrest Gump", "The Pursuit of Happyness", "Cast Away", "Groundhog Day" and "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" I also love documentaries that shed light on important social and environmental issues.

When it comes to books, I tend to read books about psychology and self-development. My favorite authors are Doğan Cüceloğlu and Beyhan Budak.

Overall, I'm a big believer in the power of art to inspire, challenge, and connect us. Whether it's through music, movies, or books, I'm always on the lookout for works that push boundaries and offer new perspectives on the world around us.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach, Learn, Share - that's what Couchsurfing is all about! As someone who loves to learn and share knowledge, I'm excited to connect with fellow travelers who are interested in doing the same.

One of my areas of expertise is European history, particularly the events and figures that have shaped the continent over the past few centuries. If you're interested in learning more about the rise of nation-states, the World Wars, or the Cold War, I'm happy to share my knowledge and insights with you.

Of course, learning is a two-way street, and I'm always eager to pick up new skills and perspectives from others. Whether you have a passion for cooking, photography, or language learning, I'm eager to learn from your experiences and expand my own horizons.

In terms of sharing, I believe that travel is all about creating meaningful connections and building a sense of community with people from different backgrounds. Whether it's by showing you around my city, sharing a meal, or simply having a conversation about our shared interests, I'm excited to create memories and friendships that will last a lifetime.

Overall, I believe that Couchsurfing is a fantastic platform that allows us to learn from one another, share our passions, and create meaningful connections with people from all over the world. I'm excited to be a part of this community and can't wait to see what we can achieve together!

What I Can Share with Hosts

As a guest, I always strive to be a respectful and responsible visitor, and I'm grateful for any hospitality that hosts are willing to offer. In return, I'm happy to share my own skills, experiences, and interests in any way that I can.

For starters, I'm a great listener and enjoy hearing about other people's experiences and perspectives. If you're willing to share your stories with me, I promise to be an engaged and empathetic listener.

In terms of skills, I have a background in teaching and tutoring, so I'm happy to help out with any academic subjects or language practice that you might need. I'm also a decent cook and enjoy preparing meals for others, so if you're interested in trying some local dishes or swapping recipes, I'm happy to oblige.

When it comes to exploring a new city, I love nothing more than getting off the beaten path and discovering hidden gems that tourists might overlook. Whether it's a quirky museum, a street food vendor, or a local park with a great view, I'm always up for an adventure and happy to show you around my favorite spots.

Lastly, I'm happy to share my knowledge and passion for European history, which is one of my areas of expertise. Whether you're curious about the Roman Empire, the Renaissance, or the World Wars, I'm happy to share my insights and help you gain a deeper understanding of this fascinating continent.

Overall, I believe that Couchsurfing is all about creating meaningful connections and sharing our passions and experiences with one another. As a guest, I'm excited to contribute to this culture of sharing and to learn from the wonderful hosts that I have the opportunity to meet along the way.
