About Me

Hey there fellow traveler! I'm an adventurous soul based in Istanbul with a passion for science, fiction, and all things extraordinary. By day, I'm a researcher diving into fascinating projects, from futuristic tech to polar expeditions, and by night, I'm dreaming up sci-fi plots or crafting something unique.

I thrive on deep conversations, playful banter, and exchanging ideas with people from all walks of life. Whether it’s cooking up a new recipe, exploring a hidden gem in the city, or collaborating on creative endeavors, I love experiencing the world in a way that makes every moment memorable.

Whether you’re hosting me or sharing a coffee, I’m always up for creating moments that inspire and spark joy. Let’s make connections that matter—because life is too short for anything less.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I can't experience everything so I decided to listen to other's stories as my own. Also let's make travel great again. For me, travel is about connecting with people and sharing experiences that go beyond tourist trails. I believe in the magic of serendipitous encounters and creating stories that stay with us forever. I’m here to meet like-minded adventurers, share my Istanbul favorites, and learn about the places and cultures that make this world so diverse.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not done it yet maybe with you ;) I am just being humble. I did eat a scorpion and swim with sharks.
