Hi, I'm Fahri from Turkey. Currently, I'm a PhD student in Istanbul. I study philosophy and writing my dissertation. Traveling and meeting new people are my passions. Because I learn new things from every person that I meet and I'm very open to learning. I especially like to talk about different languages, cultures and traditions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to meet new people and spend time with my new friends in the cities I visit. I also take great pleasure in hosting people who come to my city.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like to listen to any music that is good for me. However, the 70's and 80's especially affect me because I like nostalgia. I prefer listening to rock music more. But I'm also interested in local music.

Scorsese, Coppola and DePalma are my favorite directors. I like family, crime, drama, detective and black comedy movies.

I mostly read classic novels. Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Turgenev, Balzac, Hugo, Steinbeck and Hemingway are among my favorite authors. Although I try to follow contemporary authors, to be honest, I can't give up classic writers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I like to travel by buying a one-way ticket only. This is something I always do. So I'm always open to new stories.
