Hello fellow travelers and wanderers!

I'm a chemical engineer by profession, but my true passions lie in exploration and adventure. Currently calling Izmir, Turkey home, I share my space with two delightful feline companions who add endless joy to my life.

When I'm not immersed in the world of chemicals and reactions, you'll often find me indulging my love for history. Whether it's visiting ancient ruins, exploring museums, or diving into historical literature, I'm fascinated by the stories of the past and how they shape our present.

Beyond history, I thrive in the great outdoors. I'm an avid enthusiast of motorcycles, bikes, hiking, and trail running. There's something incredibly liberating about the wind in your hair, the sun on your face, and the earth beneath your feet as you traverse new landscapes and challenge yourself in nature's playground.

Can't wait to meet you on this incredible journey called life!

Happy travels,

Tayfun

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that traveling isn't just about visiting new places; it's about immersing yourself in the local culture, connecting with people, and sharing experiences that broaden your perspective on the world. Couchsurfing embodies these values perfectly, which is why I'm thrilled to be a part of this vibrant community.

As both a host and a guest, I see Couchsurfing as an opportunity to foster meaningful connections with fellow travelers and locals alike. Whether I'm opening up my home to guests or exploring a new destination, I'm always eager to engage in authentic cultural exchanges, share stories, and learn from each other's unique backgrounds and experiences.

Let's connect, explore, and create memories that will last a lifetime!

Music, Movies, and Books

Oh where I should start?! I guess, lord of the rings movie series and 90's tv series are my best always. I listen and try everything. I do like the musics depending on my mood.
