Hey there, fellow wanderers and adventurers!

I'm Yekta Orcun, a passionate traveler on a quest to explore the world, one couch at a time. I have two names. First one is Yekta which means unique. The second one is Orcun which is mostly people call me and it is pronounced like Fortune without F in the beginning :) My journey began with a deep desire to connect with people from different cultures and backgrounds, and Couchsurfing has been an incredible platform for fostering these meaningful connections.

If there's one word that defines me, it's curiosity. I thrive on discovering the hidden gems of each destination, whether it's stumbling upon a hole-in-the-wall cafe with the best coffee or embarking on off-the-beaten-path trails that lead to breathtaking vistas. I'm always up for spontaneous adventures and love immersing myself in the local way of life.

Beyond travel, I have a wide range of interests that keep me curious and engaged. I'm an avid photographer, capturing moments that evoke emotions and tell stories. Whether it's a stunning sunset, vibrant street art, or the laughter of friends, I believe there's beauty in every frame waiting to be captured. So if you're in need of a personal paparazzo during your travels, count me in!

Additionally, I'm a self-proclaimed foodie with an insatiable appetite for culinary delights. From savoring exotic street food to exploring Michelin-star restaurants, I firmly believe that the best way to understand a culture is through its cuisine. Let's embark on gastronomic adventures together and share our love for the perfect balance of flavors.

When I'm not on the road, I enjoy immersing myself in local communities by volunteering for various causes. Whether it's teaching English to young learners, assisting in environmental conservation projects, or supporting local initiatives, I believe in giving back and making a positive impact wherever I go.

As a guest, I am respectful, tidy, and always grateful for the hospitality offered by my hosts. I'm open-minded, easy to get along with, and love engaging in meaningful conversations. Whether we spend our time exchanging travel stories, discussing literature, or exploring the city together, I'm excited to create memories and forge lasting connections.

If you're looking for a reliable and adventurous guest who brings positive energy and good vibes to your space, I would be honored to be your Couchsurfing companion.

Let's embark on a memorable journey together!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I've joined Couchsurfing with the belief that the best way to experience a place is through the eyes of its locals. I'm passionate about connecting with people from all walks of life, immersing myself in different cultures, and creating meaningful connections along the way.

For me, Couchsurfing is more than just finding a free place to stay; it's about building friendships and fostering a sense of global community. I'm here to share stories, exchange cultural insights, and create memorable experiences with like-minded adventurers.

I firmly believe in the power of cultural exchange and the transformative impact it can have on both hosts and guests. Through Couchsurfing, I hope to break down barriers, challenge stereotypes, and promote understanding and empathy in an increasingly interconnected world.

Traveling has taught me that the most valuable experiences often lie beyond the tourist attractions. I'm eager to explore the hidden gems of your city, discover your favorite local hangouts, and gain a genuine understanding of the place you call home.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

One of the most exhilarating experiences I've had was flying an aircraft. Taking the controls and soaring through the skies was an extraordinary adventure that left me in awe of the beauty and freedom of flight.

As I sat in the pilot's seat, my heart raced with excitement and anticipation. Guiding the aircraft off the runway, I felt the sheer power and responsiveness of the controls in my hands. The sensation of lifting off the ground and ascending into the vast expanse of the sky was an indescribable feeling of liberation.

As I maneuvered through the clouds, I marveled at the breathtaking landscapes below—rolling hills, winding rivers, and majestic mountains stretching as far as the eye could see. The bird's-eye view offered a perspective unlike any other, revealing the world in a whole new light.

Flying the aircraft demanded focus, precision, and a deep understanding of the principles of aviation. It was an incredible testament to the power of human ingenuity and our ability to conquer the skies. This experience instilled in me a profound sense of respect for the pilots and the intricate mechanics behind every flight.

The memory of that flight remains etched in my mind as a testament to the limitless possibilities that await us when we dare to step outside our comfort zones and embrace new adventures.

Flying an aircraft was not only fulfilled a lifelong dream but also ignited a passion for aviation within me. It opened my eyes to the wonders of the world from above and instilled in me a sense of awe and respect for the boundless skies.
