About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meeting new friends all around the globe to shorten the distances.

ABOUT ME

A determined soul, trying to find some fun in this reality.Living in Istanbul right now, traveled to most countries and lived in some due to employement in United Nations, as well as for pleasure of course.
My main occupation is attorney at law in Istanbul but been involved in movie industry since 2008. This led to scoring a position (finally damn!) at Miramax Studios as independent producer/screenwriter in 2012. I travel to New York and London occasionally for work.

PHILOSOPHY

Philanthrophy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By trying to answer all the mails (of course, those who make sense), meeting travelers, being active in the local CS community, sharing my knowledge or helping in any way that I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Joined CS in 2011 and active since due to work and real life travels. Kinda beginner host but increased my participation since 2012. Met, hosted and travelled very cool and amazing people so far. Had great time and experiences.
