Hello everyone! I'm Berkay, 26 years old in Berlin. Studied business administration at Boğaziçi University and Tilburg University. Working as a senior analyst in a tech firm. I love to travel and meet new people and have fun!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While travelling, getting information by someone who has deeper knowledge about the city and knows secret places which are known just by local people is something I don't want to miss. Couchsurfing helps people not just by providing a free accomadation for surfers but actually by providing new friends and stories for all. To sum up, I like the spirit that CS is trying to create around the world and I want to be a part of it.

Interests

Among my interests, I love movies more than others. I like watching movies and reading reviews, even writing something about them. Especially love some directors, such as Kubrick, Sorrentino, Wilder, Anderson, Tarantino, Scorsese, Iñárritu, Ceylan, Almodóvar, Kazan, Coppola, Polanski... When it comes to music, I mostly like energetic sounds but I'm open to try almost every sort of music.

Music, Movies, and Books

Hard to answer, isn't it? Let me think... I guess the movie is La Grande Bellezza by Sorrentino. Music is Gnossienne No. 1 by Eric Satie. I know it is not energetic but there could be some exceptions :) My choice for the book is Chronicle of a Death Foretold by Márquez.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am open to learn almost anything from the host like cooking a local food, language or some local music. If you want, I can help you about my native language, some aspects of the Turkish culture and maybe we talk about cinema.
