Hi, I'm Ilker a local from Istanbul with a passion for travel and sharing my city’s hidden gems. I know Istanbul inside out and can show you everything from the famous landmarks to the lesser-known spots. Whether you’re into history, culture, or food, I’ll make sure your visit is unforgettable. I’m easygoing, love meeting new people, and am excited to help you experience Istanbul like a true insider.

Looking forward to our adventure!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing because I love connecting with people from around the world and sharing authentic experiences. Hosting travelers is a way for me to meet new friends, exchange cultures, and help others discover the real Istanbul. I believe that the best way to experience a city is through the eyes of a local, and I’m excited to offer that perspective while learning from others in return.
