About me
I fly for a living. Off duty I'm the one wandering side streets looking for the best local spot — map in hand, walking everywhere. Some days I plan before leaving the hotel, some days I just go with the flow. Up for company or just good recommendations — I'd love to hear your suggestions and experiences, and meeting in person would be even nicer 🎈

3 nights
About me
Hey, I'm Salma, 30 yo and I recently got an opportunity to work and live in Kaş somewhere on the mountain. I'm from Tunisia and I've been living in Türkiye for the last 4 years. I do like travelling to local places so I can learn more about people and that has an impact on my personality and mentality. I'm a chill, go with the flow kinda person, but also precautious (that's called maturity). I hope to get the chance to travel more and maybe start my documentary channel.

Ayşe

5 nights
About me
I'm a social butterfly. I like socializing in groups where there's plenty of stimulation and drinks! I'm a regular at the CS meetings here in Istanbul and I'd love to share the good vibe with you guys too. My working schedule is kind of irregular, but I can mostly make time to accomodate you. I love to host and I hosted up to a hundred people before I moved to the suburbs from downtown. There are still some badass travellers who doesnt mind the bus ride from/to my place (Bahçeşehir), so I still have guests occasionally. I'm one of those who you feel familiar and at ease with the first minute they meet me (I keep hearing that). I'm as blunt as a Dutch person and as hospitable as any Turk can be. I like bantering a little too much and it can be overwhelming for sensitive people (ironicly I only banter with people I happen to like). Oh and I'm queer, in case that matters, and I'm not looking for dates here, so relax ;)) https://couchsurfing.page.link/uUzMq5vcGWS1vr8TA (for references..)

Can host for:
2 nights
About me
Hi, I’m Nisa, 27! I’m absolutely obsessed with traveling—discovering new places, meeting people from all over the world, listening to their unique stories, and creating memories together that turn strangers into lifelong friends. I genuinely believe some of life’s best lessons can only be learned through these shared moments, and I jump on every chance I get to experience them. I’m easygoing, open-minded, and super social. I’m new to this app, but I’ve surprisingly built amazing friendships with people from all kinds of cultures along the way. Collecting these connections has honestly become my favorite hobby! 🫠

Istanbul is an amazing city. This was my third time visiting, and you can enjoy different experiences there. Also, the food is amazing. However, compering to the previous trips, the prices have highly increased
