Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I had an amazing experience with CS people (hosts) in my first trip in March 08.. Like many of us here, I love cultural trips etc, but never thought I would feel so much at home while actually I was thousand miles away. All my hosts were more experienced with CS and I have been told many stories, regarding the beauty and the beasty sides of people who are visiting an unknown land with sometimes unknown identities. I would suggest anyone reading this, to photocopy your passport and leave one copy to your host when you meet at first.This is a quick and strong bridge between two strangers.

Teach, Learn, Share

Classics: I am keen to hear and talk about pre-renaissance art. I love Caravaggio and my mission is to see all his paintings before I die. I enjoy walking in modern art museums too. I enjoy Opera and Classical music very much. I play flute (a little)

History, Politics: World history, politics, EU regulations, Turkey in EU or Asia?, Armenian Genocide

Dance: I learn contemporary dance in The Place, London. I love The Umbrella Dance festival so much. My favourite hall is Sadlers Well without a doubt. I like ball room and line dances too :)

Civil Engineer: I can talk about construction and management for hours. I have worked in major civil engineering projects in England.

Languages: I have studied about 15 languages. I taught many Languages also. I am a linguist and can teach and learn anything related to it to some extent!

Share my travel journals, notes, anectodes. I want to publish some of my journals one day.. I want to learn how to take good photos. Please teach me if you can..
