ABOUT ME

I'm an open-minded, reasonable and cheerful guy. I have an explorer soul. I like talking about literature, religions, philosophy, psychology, mathematics, music and traditional instruments... I play classical guitar, but I'd like to play cello :/

PHILOSOPHY

Independence is my happiness, and I view things as they are, without regard to place or person; my country is the world, and my religion is to do good. ~ Thomas Paine

Everything about yesterday has gone with yesterday. Today, it is needed to say new things. ~ Rumi

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For example, I have joined the Dragon Boat Race in Samsun, and my team lost. (P.s : I couldn't swim.)

I have been most of cities of Turkey. I want to see all of them.

What I Can Share with Hosts

As I mentioned above, I play guitar. So I can sing a song from Black Sea Region with my guitar, if you like. We can also play together. And I have been a lot of cities in Turkey. I may help you to suggest nice places. I share my Couchsurfing experiences.
My bookcase is quite big. I have almost two thousand books and magazines. My dear Turkish surfers can read them. Unfortunately, I have just a few English story books :/
I like surfers who know a lot about their country, culture, history, etc. And also, i like to share cultures. I'm not good at cooking. Maybe you'll cook something traditional, huh? I want to taste your meals, hear your sounds, listen your stories.
I like to accompany my surfer to go for sightseeing. I can walk 10-15 kilometers in a day, if I'm sure that I'll have a nice day with my companion.

Czech Republic, Georgia, Poland, Turkey
