One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing we have ever seen in our lives is the hospitality of the people in Couchsurfing community.

Teach, Learn, Share

Helping people makes both of us happy and teaching is good way of helping. Usually Serdar enjoys much more while doing something if there is someone to teach about it. And if you wonder about Bugu, she is a teacher, teaching is her job :) If you have an interest for aviation Serdar would gladly share his knowledge with you. And Bugu always volunteer to teach German if you have an interest.

Living means learning. We can read, watch or speak for learning but via couchsurfing after entering each others homes we enter to a different stage. And if you ask us what did couchsurfing teach you our answer would be not the cultural differences between us but it would be unity of humanity. After seeing how similar we are, now we dream of a world with all the people living in peace and working just for one aim: a Better World.

What I Can Share with Hosts

At first we usually share our travel plans and ask their advices :) And then after starting conversations we like to share our travel experiences and love to hear about theirs. We like to share a Turkish meal together and we like to bring small gifts from our country. We like to share a drink if we have time after meal.
