My name is Bahadır , and I consider myself a scholar, a photographer, and a travel enthusiast. I graduated from high school, and I am studying Medicine at Osmangazi University in Turkey . I spend most my time reading and having fun. I enjoy lengthy discussions and conversations with others and meeting new people. I have had the chance to travel some countries in Europe (Poland ,Germany, France, Ukraine, Bulgaria,Hungary and Austria ) I consider myself an open-minded liberal.

PHILOSOPHY:
I try to cherish my time, knowing that my life is essentially meaningless in an absurd universe. I try my best to get over my existential angst by learning and having good experiences. I believe in the power of connections and memories. Different people subtly change each other in ways unimaginable.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

During my travels, I was not, unfortunately, able to see the places I wanted to see because I had a lot of work to do. This is why I signed up for Couchsurfing: to become a slow traveler who has the time to experience places better than tourists do. I am also planning on shooting picturesque videos and photos for later use in my documentaries and short movies. Most importantly, I enjoy meeting new people and listening to their stories.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One years ago I found a dog (golden retrievers) ger family didnt want to her and i get her ☺️ She Wade very young, a couple of weeks old, and were covered with mud and garbage. The last couple of days had been windy and stormy, and she did not have her mother to protect them. I took them to a vet, we cleaned them together. She thought I was his mother for a long time. This cute thing became my pet.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach:
I could teach English, my country's culture and traditions. I could also talk about the places I visited. I am also interested in History and have lots of information in that field.

Learn:
I am open to anything, and I basically spend my entire day learning about new stuff by reading, listening to podcasts etc. I'd appreciate any new information.

Share:
I think that we could share a lot actually. I consider myself cultured and I think I possess a great amount of general knowledge. We could talk about philosophy, biology, computer science, history, economics, psychology. We could recommend each other books. movies, etc.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can bring good food, good wine, good beer. I could also gift the hosts printed versions of my best photographs. I don't know, I will do my best to share whatever I have.
