Hello,

Gurkan here, I'm a queer marketing pro from Dublin, originally from Turkey, working for an American fintech company. I'm big into techno music, pilates, tennis, and squash. And being a Capricorn, I'm pretty career-oriented, as you might guess. You can catch my marketing mag on Instagram at @gurtesmag or gurtesmag.com. I also do tailored marketing workshops in the area of marketing.

Over the past decade, I've had the incredible opportunity to reside in various cities, including Istanbul, Barcelona, Girona, Belgrade, and Dublin, whether it was for my studies or work. While it can be quite challenging to relocate frequently, I genuinely believe that it's worth it as it allows me to break free from my comfort zone and feel truly liberated. And visited many cities and countries.

My journey into Couchsurfing started during my Erasmus exchange in Spain, and I absolutely loved it! I'm a social butterfly, so this whole experience fits me like a glove!

You can find me on instagram: @gurtes / @gurtesmag

I'm here to explore new destinations by connecting with amazing people on Couchsurfing, sharing laughs, chats, and adventures together.

Thanks for taking the time to read my bio. Cheers!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a social butterfly, a chatterbox, and a fun-loving guy. Let's chat, laugh together, and go on some epic hangouts.

I love to cook up a storm, crack jokes, stay active with sports, and dive into exploring both new places and the people who inhabit them.
