We currently reside in Ankara, the heart of Turkey, known for its rich history and vibrant culture. Our home is always open to friends and fellow travelers looking for a warm welcome. Whether you’re visiting Ankara or planning a trip to another part of Turkey, we’re more than happy to share recommendations for must-visit spots and can even guide you through making some of our favorite Turkish dishes.

Our lives are enriched by connecting with people, experiencing different cultures, and creating memorable moments together. We look forward to making new friends and exploring more beautiful places around the globe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The main reasons I joined Couchsurfing are to meet new people, explore different cultures and strengthen connections around the world. Traveling for me means not only seeing new places, but also connecting with people and learning about their lifestyles, beliefs and traditions. Couchsurfing provides a great platform to share such experiences and explore hospitality. At the same time, I want to share my culture and lifestyle with other people and welcome them with the warmth of Turkey. I'm here to live life to the fullest and explore the world together!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Melike Şahin's unique voice and Cem Adrian's touching songs always impress me. Traveling through their songs and feeling the emotions really makes me happy.

Movies: I believe romantic comedies warm my heart. At the same time, science fiction movies are also fascinating to me. Watching movies in these genres feeds my imagination and emotional side.

Books: Books like "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" bring a new perspective to one's life. It is important for me to learn from different perspectives and contribute to my personal development.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most memorable experiences we’ve shared was during a trip to Finland, where Fatih proposed. We stayed with a local host through Couchsurfing, which made the moment even more special, blending local hospitality with our personal milestone. This trip stands out as one of the most special times in our lives over the past year, filled with love, adventure, and unforgettable memories.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love sharing my travel experiences and interesting stories.
I can bring my host different sweets and foods from Turkey, especially Turkish coffee and Turkish delight.
I want to enable my host to learn more about me by sharing my culture and lifestyle.
In order to have a safe accommodation experience, I will inform my arrival time in advance and understand and comply with my host's house rules.
