I am a university professor living in Leicester, with roots in Turkey. Throughout my academic journey, I have always been open to learning from different cultures and people. When I relocated to England, leaving my own country behind, meeting new people and experiencing different cultures has always been exciting for me. I prefer Couchsurfing to both host and explore other cultures. Welcoming guests, exchanging ideas with them, and forming new friendships is a delightful experience for me. My home provides a warm and tolerant atmosphere, making the Couchsurfing experience unforgettable.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I believe in the power of cultural exchange and fostering connections with people from all walks of life. As someone who values diversity and learning, Couchsurfing provides me with the opportunity to host travelers from around the world, share experiences, and gain insights into different cultures. Additionally, it allows me to explore new places and cultures when I travel, all while building meaningful relationships and friendships along the way. Overall, Couchsurfing aligns with my values of hospitality, openness, and mutual respect, making it an enriching and fulfilling platform for me to be a part of.
