Hello, I’m Samet, a 25-year-old from Istanbul, Turkey. but ı moved in sydney I graduated from a fine arts high school specializing in painting and later completed my degree in graphic design. After graduation, I worked as a designer for a company in Istanbul. Film and photography are two of my biggest passions, and I’ve been paragliding since I was 16. I currently work as a freelancer and am in the process of fulfilling my dream of exploring the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because discovering people from diverse cultures inspires me deeply. Each encounter is an opportunity to learn about different ways of life, traditions, and perspectives. I believe that sharing experiences with locals not only enriches my travels but also fosters meaningful connections that transcend geographical boundaries. By immersing myself in the lives of others, I hope to gain insights that will shape my worldview and ignite my creativity. Plus, it's a chance to create unforgettable memories and friendships that last a lifetime.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite movies include 'Harry Potter' and 'The Lord of the Rings'; they are the best of all time for me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I want to create beautiful memories with my hosts during my stay. I'm excited about the opportunity to share experiences and stories, and I believe that these interactions can lead to meaningful connections. In the future, I would love to host my Couchsurfing friends in my home in Istanbul and show them around the city. I take great pleasure in sharing the rich culture, history, and hidden gems of my hometown. Whether it's exploring local markets, trying out traditional dishes, or simply enjoying a cup of tea together, I look forward to giving back the hospitality I receive and making their visit memorable.
