About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to know the truth...

ABOUT ME

imaginative and creative. enslaved by a desire to learn. wishing for a world as lennon imagined.

i would easily be considered cheerful, hospitable (why, of course), friendly and outgoing. a man of pleasure, i always look for ways to have fun; and i am good at finding them. i always smile. i like discussing things, especially those that i know not much about. i value intelligence and creativity over everything else.

PHILOSOPHY

truth is god,
imagination its faith,
freedom its creed,
learning and teaching our devotion to it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i like meeting new people; and what better way to do it for them to come to your living room from literally thousands of kilometers away? i only need to offer them my friendship and in return i get to know different cultures, different points of view, different aspects of life that evaded my curiosity before. hell of a trade!

when in istanbul, i had hosted more than 100 people just in 4 months and still not had enough of it. i think i never would. there were always couchsurfers in my place and once there were as many as 17 on one day. it is crazy, i guess; so i like it!

i do couch surfing myself, stay with amazing people who are waiting there to share with me. the best way to discover a new land and people is meet one of them and stick with him until you absorb their culture at least on an initial level. no hotel with its pure commercial agenda can offer this.
