Hi there, my name is Kağan and I'm so glad you stopped by my profile! I'm originally from Bodrum/Muğla, but I currently live in Şişli/İstanbul where I am a 4th grade Electrical and Electronics Engineer student.

In my free time, I love to read books, take walks, play chess and meet my friends. I'm also an avid traveler and have been lucky enough to visit 6 countries so far. My favorite travel experiences include gaining insight about places, tasting local food and of course making friends.

As a host, I'm always excited to meet new people and learn about different cultures. I believe that travel is one of the best ways to broaden your horizons and gain a new perspective on life. I strive to create a welcoming and comfortable environment for my guests, and I'm happy to offer my local insights and recommendations to help them make the most of their visit.

If you're interested in staying with me during your visit to İstanbul , please don't hesitate to reach out. I'd love to get to know you and show you all that my city has to offer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I believe that travel is one of the best ways to learn about different cultures and gain new perspectives. As a traveler myself, I understand how valuable it is to have a local guide who can offer insights and recommendations that you might not find in a guidebook. I want to be that guide for others who are visiting Istanbul, and I also want to create meaningful connections with people from all over the world. Couchsurfing allows me to do both by offering a platform where travelers and hosts can connect and share experiences.
