Hi everyone. I'm Özgün
I am in Aachen as an Erasmus student in telecommunication engineering area in master degree. I'm open-minded and optimistic person. I am interested in outdoor sports (camping, cycling, caving and snowboarding (the latest one)) since 5 years. Spending time with my family and also my friends are important in my life, it generally makes me feel good. If I have chance I like to travel to new places, meeting new people, learning different cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

At first my friend talked about CS couple of years ago, and I experienced CS by staying with local people during my first cycling tour in Europe. I understand that, CS is very funny and informative, because it creates a chance to be more than tourist at somewhere. Local hosts can show a different view of the country, people or a culture. That's why I'm on CS. Then I try to find a host during my trips. Unfortunately I haven't host a guest, but I'd like to do also.
