Overview
About Me
Hey there, fellow traveler! I’m Samet, an adventurous soul with a big heart and an even bigger love for meeting new people. Originally from Turkey 🇹🇷, I’ve been calling Australia 🇦🇺 home for the past 11 years. If life were a video game, I’d probably be a mix of a wandering bard, a café owner in a tropical village, and a side quest giver who always has a funny story to tell.
I live in a cozy 3-bedroom house in Boondall, Brisbane, where I’m technically the only fully furnished entity—my rooms are minimalist (aka inflatable furniture and a big imagination). But hey, who needs fancy decor when you’ve got good vibes, great company, and possibly a queen-size bed to share if you’re cool with it? (I promise I don’t snore… much.)
⚡ Fun Facts About Me:
• I have a habit of picking up cool hobbies like rollerblading, DJing, and playing the accordion… only to get distracted by the next shiny adventure.
• I’ve been on Couchsurfing for over 13 years, so I’ve seen it all—good guests, weird guests, and that one time a guy thought my couch was a surfboard.
• I love spontaneous road trips, deep conversations, and finding the best hidden spots in any city.
• I’m currently plotting my escape to a tropical island (Siargao, Philippines) where I plan to open a bar & restaurant. Yes, free drinks for future visitors! 🍹
If you like random adventures, chill vibes, and someone who can teach you Turkish words that you’ll probably never use, I’m your guy. Hit me up, let’s make some memories! 🚀🌏
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Let’s be real—hotels are boring. Why pay for a fancy bed when you can crash on an inflatable mattress and gain a new friend in the process? 😆
I’ve been using Couchsurfing for over 13 years because I truly believe that the best way to experience a place is through the people who live there. I love meeting fellow adventurers, exchanging stories, and proving that hospitality isn’t just about a place to sleep—it’s about sharing laughs, meals, and sometimes questionable life advice over a cup of coffee (or beer, depending on the time of day 🍻).
Whether I’m hosting or surfing, I’m here for the connections, the culture, and the chaos that makes every trip unforgettable. Plus, let’s be honest, I love an excuse to show off my cooking skills—so if you stay with me, be prepared for some delicious Turkish food (or at least my best attempt at it). 😄
So if you’re looking for a laid-back, fun, and slightly goofy host, or a fellow traveler to explore with, let’s make it happen! 🚀
Interests
Wwhere do I start? My interests are as unpredictable as my travel plans—one day I’m rollerblading through the streets, the next I’m deep into learning Python for data analysis (don’t ask how that happened). Here’s a glimpse into my chaotic yet fascinating world:
🌍 Travel & Adventure – I love spontaneous road trips, getting lost in new cities, and discovering hidden gems. Bonus points if there’s a beach, a mountain, or a cool bar involved.
🎶 Music & DJing – I have an amateur DJ alter ego who loves mixing techno beats. If you’re lucky (or unlucky), I might even throw an impromptu party.
🍻 Food & Drinks – As a restaurant manager and soon-to-be bar owner, I take my food and drinks very seriously. I enjoy exploring local cuisines, brewing experimental cocktails, and debating whether pineapple belongs on pizza (I say yes, fight me).
🐨 Random Hobbies – I’ve dabbled in rollerblading, playing the accordion, motorcycle riding, and other activities that I start with passion and then conveniently forget about until inspiration strikes again.
🤓 Tech & AI Stuff – I’m always fascinated by new tech, AI, and online business ideas. If we end up talking about making money online or building cool digital projects, don’t be surprised.
🎭 Humor & Storytelling – I love making people laugh, whether it’s through funny travel stories or making up ridiculous scenarios about life. If you enjoy sarcasm, dad jokes, and spontaneous storytelling, we’ll get along just fine.
If any of these things sound interesting (or if you just need someone to argue about the best kind of kebab with), hit me up! 😆

Music, Movies, and Books
🎶 Music:
If it has a deep bass, hypnotic beats, and makes you feel like you’re in an underground club at 4 AM, I probably love it. My world revolves around techno, house, tech-house, and electronic music—whether it’s dark and deep, groovy and funky, or something that just makes you lose yourself in the rhythm. If you have a killer playlist, let’s exchange! 🎧
🎬 Movies:
I’m a sucker for mind-bending sci-fi and epic action movies—the kind that make you question reality or just leave you in awe of the cinematography. If it involves space, time travel, or jaw-dropping fight scenes, I’m all in.
📚 Books:
I enjoy reading about new ideas, interesting perspectives, and things that help me grow—whether it’s about business, philosophy, or just a fun, immersive story. I’ll read anything that makes me think or sparks my imagination!
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I’ve chased adventure like a cat chases a laser pointer—sometimes with a plan, sometimes just running in circles, but always ending up somewhere amazing. 🌍✨
• I road-tripped along the Great Ocean Road, where I pretended to be a travel influencer while taking way too many selfies with the Twelve Apostles.
• I’ve hopped across the most beautiful islands in the Philippines, feeling like a budget-friendly pirate in search of the perfect beach.
• I went scuba diving in Boracay, where I had a deep and meaningful conversation with a fish (they didn’t say much, but I think we bonded).
Every trip has left me with unforgettable memories and hilarious stories—so who knows what the next adventure will bring? 🌊
Teach, Learn, Share
🎓 Teach:
• I can teach you how to order a beer in Turkish (arguably the most important phrase to know). 🍺
• Want to learn some basic DJing skills or how to create a playlist that keeps the party going? I got you. 🎧
• I can show you how to travel like a pro on a budget, including finding cheap flights, sneaky travel hacks, and how to charm your way into free upgrades (okay, maybe not that last one… but we can try!).
🤓 Learn:
• I love learning new languages, even if I only remember five words by the end of the day.
• I want to get better at cooking international dishes, so if you have a killer family recipe, I’m all ears (and taste buds). 🍽️
• I’m always up for learning new skills, whether it’s a cool dance move, how to surf, or random life hacks that make me feel like a genius.
🤝 Share:
• Good vibes, great stories, and terrible but entertaining jokes.
• A fun, relaxed space to crash in Brisbane (inflatable mattress included!).
• Music, travel tips, and possibly some homemade coffee if I’m feeling fancy.
If you’ve got something cool to teach, let’s trade skills and make life more interesting! 🚀
What I Can Share with Hosts
• Great Stories & Good Vibes – I’ve had my fair share of adventures, from island-hopping in the Philippines to road-tripping along the Great Ocean Road. Expect fun travel stories, spontaneous laughs, and probably a ridiculous Couchsurfing experience or two.
• Music & DJ Vibes – If you have a speaker, I can set the mood with some groovy tech-house and electronic beats—whether it’s a chill session or a mini dance party. 🎧💃
• Cooking Skills (or at least the attempt) – I can introduce you to some delicious homemade food, and if we’re feeling ambitious, we can experiment with different flavors together. If my cooking fails, at least we’ll have a good laugh. 🍽️😂
• Travel & Life Tips – Whether it’s budget travel hacks, business ideas, or how to start over in a new country, I love sharing what I’ve learned along the way. If you’re curious about Australia, the Philippines, or random life hacks, I’m happy to share!
• A Laid-Back, Respectful Guest – I’m easygoing, clean, and always appreciative of my host’s hospitality. I won’t eat all your food (unless you tell me to), and I’ll always bring good energy and gratitude to your home.
At the end of the day, I believe Couchsurfing is about connecting, learning, and sharing—so let’s make some fun memories together! 🚀
