Hello to you person looking at my profile! I'm Mutlu, I have been living in Istanbul for the past 6 years now (short gap of 5 months doing Erasmus in Debrecen, Hungary). I am a software developer. I like my job and if you have any interest in programming and tech I would love to share thoughts. Besides all that, I am a total music nerd and I play the guitar. Cooking has always been fun, and since becoming vegan, I am much more experimental. Video games and animes are also things that I may have a few things to say about.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet new people, not be a tourist, have the local experience

Interests

Programming, playing/listening music and playing video games are probably my three favourite things.

I like learning about new languages, one of the most satisfying feelings in the world.

Recently I started enjoying cooking more and more, please share your culinary wisdom with me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had a roadtrip through the desert of Oman. Scary at times and tiring, but the excitement and the night view was worth it.

Teach, Learn, Share

We could do some knowledge give and take on cuisins. Also if you are interested in Turkish language, I could help you with that.

Music is the biggest reason why I'm a functioning human being, so please share with me what you listen, I can only hope to achieve that for you as well.
