About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel and discover Peru !

ABOUT ME

I am a traveler soul from Istanbul Turkey, where I was born and raised. I am currently on a mission to travel the Peruvian Amazon forest and meet the local people. I love writing, listening or making music. Love meeting passionate creative people. Making new friendships in the meantime.

I constantly look for new places to explore, new chances to learn and new ways to understand life on this planet as a human being. I love hiking. I am a vert easy going person who seeks out fun activities. I like to make people happy, and laugh. Love to share anything I have. My passions are music, puppetry, cooking, learning crafts and traveling. Love meeting new people and discovering new places. I started writing recently about my experiences and travels too it makes me feel much lighter.

No matter what I write here, It never can be replaced with a personal question or conversation so if you want to learn more about me, don't hesitate to contact!

PHILOSOPHY

Don't dwell in the past, don't dream of the future, concentrate on the mind of the present moment.

Even death is not to be feared by one who lived wisely.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host people whenever I am able. I am also willing to participate by meeting travelers and showing them around, just the regular places we, residents of this city, go eat-drink. Some nice art events I can suggest.

Music, Movies, and Books

Power of Now from Eckhart Tolle is my bedside book.. I also love reading politics, history, activism, human rights

I dislike ideologies that devide people for their color, religion, social status.

I get inspired by writers who focus on more on the common things that unite people and ideas that work for everyone instead of just one group.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hitchhiked from İstanbul to Spain through Europe for a festival, I got lost hiking in the mountains, I made children friends in Albania, I rolled one in christiania, I fell down from a bike in Munich, took the old train from sarajevo to mostar and many more..

Teach, Learn, Share

I can try to teach whatever I am passionate about. I can help with your Turksih if you are learning..

Particularly I wanna learn about farms and growing plants. Both nutrition and medicine purposes.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook you some Turkish breakfast for sure! I will probably have some music on me I can share! My stories of course. I possibly can share some Turkish tea to if I have it :)
