I'm Onur, and I'm a graduate of history. I can describe myself as an archaeology, travelling and outdoor activity enthusiast. Mostly I'm busy with university stuff. As leisure activities, I read articles, books about archaeology and general history, do sports such as basketball, hiking and swimming. Apart from these things, I'm an easy-going and energetic guy. I try to travel different countries and wanna experience their culture as much as possible.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling and hitchhiking solo in Norway for two weeks, with only spending 12 euros! Thanks to Couchsurfing and conserve food that I took from Turkey, I didn't spend any money to food or transportation. I used my tent for accommodation when it was necessary, but except that I stayed with my lovely hosts. I only bought plane tickets, and hitchhiked many kilometers afterwards.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach travellers whatever they want to know about Turkey. Also I can show tourist attractions in Ankara or Bursa. We can talk about basketball, books, movies. I'd like to learn something about different countries especially their culture and traditions.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can tell you interesting things about Turkey, and cook traditional Turkish foods. If you don't want to try Turkish cuisine, I can make you delicious cakes, I'm very good at baking :)
