Hi! I'm Umut, a med student/ scuba instructor from Istanbul, Turkey. I'm doing my exchange semester in Frankfurt a. M. this year and during my studies I try to travel to see new places and experience different cultures. Because I currently live in student housing I can not host but when I go back to Istanbul, I'd be more than delighted to show you around that beautiful and mesmerizing city!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I'm staying with a local in a city, i feel more integrates as if i was a local myself. I love getting pointers and tips from the people I'm staying so the whole travel goes smoother and I get a sense of how this person sees the city/country
