Hey, i am Mehmet. I am studying economics at Bogaziçi University, the best of Turkey, in Istanbul. It was about one year ago that I have realized the enjoyment of travelling and meeting with people in different cultures. Since then, I have had the desire to travel and become a backpacker.
I am easy-going, open-minded( just as everybody at CS) and sensitive, ı mean sensitive to the people around me and to the environment( actually all people should be sensitive to the environment otherwise we will lose it irreversibly). I care a lot my family and friends.
I don't like making plans about long terms because as time passes, my feelings, excitement and thoughts change and my desire won't be at the same level. That's why ı like spontaneity. Things happened by themselves always makes me happier. (So please don't send me request 2 months ago but don't send one day before,either. I actually like one day before requests, but as ı am studying (exams, papers etc...) , this is a very short time for me right now. Send at least 1 week earlier.)
I am very sportive. I play football, basketball, tennis and swim. I love reading book especially while raining. I am also interested in photography. I think, i am very good cook as well at least my friends say that :). I like dancing by the way. I am learning tango right now. I hope i will keep learning different kinds of dances because dancing makes me relax and more importantly happy.
In my house, i have a place for 1 or 2 people. It depends on the time but hosting 2 people doesn't seem always possible but you better try it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because ı want to help backpackers and get help from them as well. Meeting people with different cultures kinda refreshs your life as it helps you widen your horizon. Making yourself acquainted with new cultures, ideas and rituels helps you think about the things you haven't confronted, thus enabling you to see the world with a broader perspective. Through Couchsurfing, one is able to get out from the ordinariness of his/er life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I travelled Mid-Europe with my back-pack and little money and alone. I stayed at McDonalds some day, used CS and at people's houses i met there. This is probably the best experience i have because it taught me to trust people and the importance of money:) as i spent some days eating almost nothing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show some of the tango figures :). If there is enough time, ı can cook as well. We can travel the city together at least some parts. First drinks on me :).
