A life of getting paid to travel around the world? Meet Berkay, a cultural chameleon who thrives to understand the world’s different kinds of people and relate with them. Every week he flies around the world to a destination unknown to him until he gets his weekly schedule working in the airline industry.

Callum and I met Berkay in his house in Istanbul whilst Couchsurfing and couldn’t have had a richer cultural exchange thanks to him and his wonderful family.

In this episode, listen to Berkay’s reflections on the subtle and major cultural differences he’s experienced having travelled to over 50 countries across the globe. Understand the Couchsurfing community a little more and why someone may CHOOSE to sleep on a local’s couch instead of the hotel room offered to him by the airline. Also, I’d just like to add how unbelievably amazing Turkish hospitality is and how many heartfelt exchanges we had from Couchsurfing in Istanbul to hitchhiking to tiny mountain villages in Antalya. Teşekkürler!
