Hello, My name is Harun. I am from Turkey. I am 22 years old. I am J1 student in United States. I am a business administration student. I love traveling and playing chess. From time to time I am a guest on radio programs. In Turkey I work as a content producer for the Instagram page "gecer.pawn" and I do interviews all the time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The reason I am here is that I want to stay in a safe environment while enjoying the cities. I want to meet people, chat and learn about their lifestyles while staying.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was the coordinator of the first ticketed chess event in Turkey. The program lasted 3 days and was played in front of an audience of 300 people. I also moderated the press conference of this event, which you can watch on the "Sabo Chess" channel. I had unforgettable experiences in this event. I will continue to work in this field after I return to Turkey

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to introduce my own saying to you here. When I give chess lessons, I always say the following to my students and I take it as a philosophy of life. "Don't be afraid of making mistakes, you will learn to make the right moves by making mistakes."

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am always a harmonious person, I will never disturb you. I am a traveler and I would love you to help me by accepting me.
