About Me

I'm a civil engineer and an academic staff at Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University. I like the teaching part of my job so I'm happy with my work.
My first trip was to America with 'work and travel' thing, it took 3 months and a lot of good frienships developed in there.
I like to see new places so much and I travel as much as I can.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My friends say that the cookies I made are delicious, so I can share my cookies and food also.
We can speak about cultures, countries, movies etc. or if you want just to rest or sleep it is not a problem for me.

My home is very central place in Çanakkale. It takes about 2-3 minutes to walk to the ferry pier "Çanakkale Iskele". It is a little bit small but 2 people can stay comfortable.
