Hi! I'm Göktuğ, a medical student and an explorer from Istanbul. I like traveling as much as you, every couchsurfer do. In my university, I'm a member of several student clubs including International Federation of Medical Students' Association, Students Scientific and Research Club, and Photography Club. When I was in high school, I was a short distance runner and the captain of the table tennis team. And I was into poetry. I am a friendly and open-minded person who wants discover different cultures from all around the world.
