Hey!!
I'm Berkay from Istanbul. Currently I am working as Product Manager in Beko/Arçelik. Meanwhile I am doing my MBA in Koç University. Honestly, it is a tough job to keep up with.

Other than my professional and business life, I really love doing sports. I have been playing table tennis since I was 6. Besides, I like running, fitness and calisthenics.

When I have a chance, I always visit new places and experience new things to put a milestone in my life. I have seen many places in EU, been in Thailand and US. I believe that life is all about collecting memories and having experiences as much as possible.

In my close circle I'm known as very friendly, entertaining and easy going person. You'll see when we met. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of the sources of my hapiness is helping and communicating to people and I guess Couchsurfing is the best platform for that.
