As a passionate traveler, I always have some plans in my mind, and whenever I find a chance, I realize it. The reason why I made a career change (quit teaching at a school and became a flight attendant) after 37 years old was to live a life full of travels and action.

I like hosting people and even showing around if we have time. Individualized messages and request are more sincere. I am not into copy-paste requests. Details and a password are in 'home' section. I suggest reading details about our place and check it on the map as I live nearly 30 km off the city center. But using transportation, easy to reach.

When it comes to introduce myself, Everybody calls me SMILE as I do it most of the time :) after constant travels in my interrail tour in Europe and Balkans and the US for the last years, I m now like a man of wisdom about travelling and will go on travelling more in future. I work as a flight attendant and my schedule can change a lot. That's why I may /may not be suitable when you need it. So, don't hesitate to ask for it ;)

PS: Don't miss "home" part in my profile. the most important of all is making new friends and learning new cultures, and many other things. "Happiness is only real when shared"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

when I was a teacher in van, a south-eastern city near the iranian border of turkey, I met a guy in the same building. he told me about the CS project and he introduced me the United Nations in his flat :)) there were nearly 7 CS surfers from 5 different nationalities :)) it was really good and I started hosting people and revive the CS spirit...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted many people in the city Van, and my hometown kayseri. After all I used Couchsurfing in my Interrail Tour 2012. It was about 34 days and I surfed many people and made many new friends
