My name is Yusuf Said, I’m 22 years old, and I currently live in Istanbul, Turkey. I’m a student at Istanbul Medeniyet University, where I’m studying to become a Math teacher. Alongside my studies, I live a very active travel life — you could say I’m a part-time traveler and full-time learner.

Traveling is not just something I do during holidays; it’s a lifestyle for me. So far, I’ve visited 14 countries, and every trip has taught me something new — about cultures, people, and also about myself. I love slow travel, local experiences, meaningful conversations, and discovering places beyond the tourist routes.

I also enjoy creating content while I travel. I share my journeys, daily moments, and stories on Instagram and YouTube under the name @travelyusuf. For me, content creation is not about numbers, but about documenting memories and inspiring others to explore the world with curiosity and respect.

As a guest, I’m open-minded, respectful, and easygoing. I truly appreciate the Couchsurfing spirit of cultural exchange, sharing, and human connection. I’m always happy to help, share stories, cook together, explore the city, or simply have a good conversation over tea or coffee.

I’m looking forward to meeting new people, learning from each other, and creating unforgettable memories along the way.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’m a traveler who enjoys discovering new places, meeting people, and exchanging culture. I create travel videos and reels during my journeys, so I love capturing special moments, helping with photos, filming, and editing if my host is interested. I’m respectful, clean, and easygoing — I treat every house like my own and I always try to leave positive energy behind. I can share Turkish culture, stories, and language, help with cooking or daily tasks, and I’m always down for deep conversations, city walks, spontaneous plans, and good company. I believe trips become more meaningful with people, not just places.
