Hi, I am Orçun (or-chun). I live in Istanbul. I am a medical student and I love to travel+learning. I love to meet new people because as a Turkish idiom says "Every person is a whole new world to explore". So to meet more people (who are different from my culture) I try to travel a lot. I am a long-distance cyclist, sometimes I cycle city to city. I can also take care of your medical conditions as far as I can when we meet.

So, long story short, I have an outgoing personality, I love to teach my culture to other people as well as learning from others and can help you with your medical questions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To be honest, when I am broke and I need a place to stay (especially in expensive countries), I need couchsurfing. Also in that way, I will earn new friendships abroad, so that's a win-win :D
