About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page."

ABOUT ME

I gratuated from Computer Engineering , I am working for IBM Turkey

I like to explore new cities, new cultures and new people

Friendship is very important for me, I like meeting new people
Exploring new cities should be experienced with locals otherwise you don't feel the spirit of them.

That's why CS is a wonderful idea! Because visiting the cities without locals does not mean so much as it does with locals.

PHILOSOPHY

There are lot of countries to explore
All cities have its own beauty and must be visited
Have a new friend from a different culture is so valuable for me
Every culture have alot of thing to explore

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love hosting and helping travelers get around my city
I have three separate rooms, one of them is available for surfers
I don't work at weekends , we can go around the istanbul together
I like to show most spectecular places of istanbul to the visitors

I have enough blankets and things for sleeping at home.And during your host, you can feel yourself like you are in your own home.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had spent perfect time in Italy of course with the help of CS
I met with a nice person in Berlin, we visited a lot of places together , she took me to the cathedrals, palaces, nice restaurants, cafes and pubs.
She helped me too much
It happened by CS , thank you CS.
