Couch Information
No couch currently available for surfing. Besiktas. 20 mins walking to taksim and 30 minutes by ferry to kadikoy.
I live with my wife Ceren in a very small apartment which I also use as my office and that is the reason I am not able to host at the moment.

Vienna Calling 1010InterestsI like meeting and having friends of all possible kinds and places. I love hearing stories (above all traveler's ones). I'm becoming addictive to CS events, i find CS a brilliant tool to organize and get different people together.
I also like stamina sports such as running, swimming or biking, spend shit loads of time on it. Its turned out to be an excellent way to make good friends anywhere. these kind of sports look unsocial and too individual... but actually they make people challenge themselves to the limit and that really brings people together
Philosophywhat comes around goes around. And this is true!
Anybody can talk the talk but just a few actually walk the walkMusic, Movies, Booksyesss, pleaseTypes of People I enjoyi like pretty much all friendly, happy people. My friends are the ones who share some interest with me or just smile at me (:One Amazing Thing I've Seen or Done a Marathon (3 times)

What do these numbers mean?
This summary is not a replacement for reading references; it's a quick summary to help you get started. At a glance, you can see how many references a member has, and how many of them are positive, neutral, and negative.
In the second line, you'll see how many references came from people who hosted this member, surfed with them, and traveled with them. These numbers won't always add up to the total: some references are not categorized, and some may be categorized as more than one thing.
When viewing this summary, don't jump to conclusions! Things that are negative for one person may be positive for another, and vice versa. It's important to read references carefully and evaluate what that information means to you. References (132)131Positive 1Neutral 0Negative

Sep 29, 2011 Positive There isn't much to say about Hector that hasn't already been said. He's such a genuinely lovely, friendly guy who seems to have a permanent smile on his face who reflects the true CS ethos and spirit. Here's to more fun times ahead.
 From Bora Eke Izmir, Turkey
Sep 27, 2011 Positive Hector is a great person. We had meet first while I was surfing CS Istanbul Collective. He does a lot for CS. He does not speaks much. However He is honest and tactful. We have a Turkish saying express him; "Adam gibi Adam - An Upright Man" I highly trust him. It was great to meet at Istanbul Conference again. Thanks for helping me participating in CS more. See you my friend.
