About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To (re)discover what has already been discovered.

ABOUT ME

Here, first thing that I should tell is I really hate trying to describe myself, I hate trying to fit myself into these pre-prepared boxes of characteristics. I have some tendencies and general attitude towards the life, as everybody does, but they are always open to change and I always try to leave some space for these possible changes. Otherwise, as someone who cares a lot about independance and freedom, I would feel myself trapped inside this character that I carry around. However, I am aware of that this place is the only one that I can give you some clues about who I am before we actually meet, so I try my best for talking about myself.

PHILOSOPHY

Struggling to pass beyond what is on the surface, trying to find something which maybe doesn't exist at all, feeling everything fully especially the love, seeing my own life as a game and playing with it as much as I like, searching for my own God to believe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfing / Hosting / and coincidentally meeting CSers and spending some time with them every now and then.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Never ever had a bad experience had funny ones though like the one that I lost my host in Porto:) And of course thanks to CSing I met my sweet flatmates Kathi and Niklas!

Interests

Reading, dancing (especially Tango), writing, psychology and social sciences in general, travelling...

And some other things that I like to do which can not be categorized under the name of interests or hobbies: Getting lost in the streets conciously, making up stories about people and places that I don't know anything about, starting conversation with the people that I don't know, without having any reason, washing dishes(yes, i know this is the weirdest one, but I love it, you may happily use it against when you host me), looking after and playing with kids, melancholic, half-depressive talks about life, believes, love etc. which I usually do only with some special people and found meaningful and soothing in a way...
