Hi guys! I'm Izge and I'm looking forward to meet you!

I'm a 22 years old guy living on his own in Istanbul. I'm currently studying for my Computer Engineering degree while I work as a sports journalist. I'm a sports commentator for Eurosport Turkey, and talking about sports eats a lot of my time.

I'm a very laid back guy and I'm open to pretty much everything.

PS: J'avait étudié dans une lycée française pour cinq années, mais il y a trois ans dépuis ma graduation. J'ai oublié bcp des choses. Je peut (probablement) tu comprendre, mais I prefer english, ou "franglish" at best :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I might be a CS newbie but I'm very eager to share some life experiences with you! I just moved into my own place, let the surfing begin!

Interests

I can describe myself as a sports nerd, and yes, I see the irony in it as an overweight guy, LOL (but I'm steadily losing weight!).

I try to follow all the sports that are going around, but my main interests are American football(huge Indianapolis Colts fan), MMA, WWE, rugby, alpine skiing, motorsports and soccer.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm mostly a metal head when it comes to music, but my favorites also include some Daft Punk and some rap . I'll give at least a chance to everything I listen to.

My favorite TV show is by far Community. It's the best half hour comedy around, please check it out, you won't regret it. I'm also currently waiting for the third season of Orange is the New Black. My favorite shows from the past include House, HIMYM, Friends and Prison Break.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I started working at my dream job when I was only 18! I talk sports for a living, which is still unbelievable for me.

These are not done yet, but I'll go to the Wacken Open Air Festival this summer and I'll be going to the Rugby World Cup this autumn. I'm super excited about those!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll answer all your questions about Turkey and Turkish culture. Anything and everything. I'll even teach you some Turkish words of you want!

I have a tiny kitchenette, but I'll try to cook for you. But even if I can't, I'll make sure that you tried every must-eat Turkish snack/food.

I'm not a club/dancing guy, so nightlife is not my strong suit, but I know the best pubs in Istanbul to drink quality beer and have a conversation without too loud music. Some of my friends will probably even join us!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm pretty much a "have a talk over beer" guy, so let's share our stories over a beer/coffee/tea/whatever!
