About Me

CURRENT MISSION

He's a Nihilist

ABOUT ME

I am a laidback guy trying to help people in their journey with a warm couch, smiles, storied and conversations.

Trying to converse about what life is to ourselves and share that experience. Set the setting and go!

I am from Antalya(Southern Part) I can help a lot to plan your journey in there. From Fethiye to Antalya, from parachuting to scuba diving. I can explain the way to travel and enjoy the places.

PHILOSOPHY

Feed the collective conscious, shift your place to a global gateway of ideas, philosophies and much-craved information. Interpret your life projecting your experience. Come and sit for a minute!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My real point in participating is to share the knowledge about the world and how we see it.So without the proper communication hosting people or surfing just for sleeping in a place is meaningless for me.I really expect to have a conversation while having some beer or something and walking around the city with you.

I love to host people and make this city easy for them.It is really satisfying to see my guests spended and tired less and found more time to enjoy the city which makes my guests available for me for some talks and drinks :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been hosting people since the end of 2009. I took a 3 year break from it; I've been sharing an apartment or living in Antalya that time.

Interests

I play drums and listen a wide spectrum of music from metal to classical music, fusion jazz to pop, funk to psytrance.

Other than that;

Scuba diving
Walks
Hiking and Camping
Cycling
Civ5!
Researching

I like learning anyhing! im not a bookworm but i love reading something that i didnt know before from net or any other source-wikipedia prefferred -.As simple as that :) And i hope you'll help me in that :)
I got some interest in history but im still not sure about how deep it is :)
Like talking political stuff with people from abroad, the conversation about politics,economy and social characteristics of the represented countries have been always appealing to me.Also i like cultural or linguistic etymology and i love to show the meanings in and the structure of Turkish language.
