Hi all,
My name is Özhan and I am from Turkey. I am 32 years old. My hometown is Antakya, also known as Antioch in roman language. It is on the east tip of Mediterranean Sea but I live in Adana which is a bigger city. I work as a lecturer of English Language at Adana science and technology University. I teach basic English to the students as well as vocational English. I completed my M.A thesis on English language teaching.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it makes me feel good to meet people belonging to different cultures. Although I haven't experienced much through CS. I like learning about their lifestyles, culture and of course language!
I also want to travel as far as I can so that I can see different places, different people who are going to help me to widen my point of view. However, I haven't travelled much yet :)

Interests

I love languages! I can speak an average level of Arabic and I am planing to learn different languages such. I think I have an aptitude for learning languages.
I love sports. I like playing football, badminton, basketball, swimming.
I like listening to music. I can play guitar though I am not very good at it.
