'Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.'

I have been following this motto for a while, so far it worked very well.

I am a third-year architecture student at Middle East Technical University in Ankara, Turkey. I am also a cyclist, a hitchhiker and a camper. I also did caving in Boğaziçi University for a one and a half year.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing makes you interact with the city, it gives you a chance to experience the city as a local for a short time. It also connects different cultures and life styles altogether.

The best way to know a city is meeting with people who already experienced the city by years before.

I like indie, 60-70's hippi music, I also like grunge of 90's. And I am more interested in local indie bands in different cities.
My favorite movie is Into the Wild while my favorite book is "Tutunamayanlar" , a novel by Turkish author Oğuz Atay.
