Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

While i was travelling i met with another traveller and he introduce me the couchsurfing on my birthday because I was homeless and spending the night at a historical train station(haydarpaşa garı)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i have hosted more than a few times. and be hosted more than a few times

Interests

wildlife, animal & plant kingdom, camping and bonfires(fire in general!)
I enjoy observing animals, nature and especially fire with a really deep focus.

tao,zen,buddha, mindfulness, body awareness(yoga,martial arts,combat sports),meditation
I'm interested in eastern philosophy in general and I think of tao,zen & gautama buddha himself as secular & meditation to be the core of this way. Yoga&martial arts are also a form of meditation plus it helps you sit comfortably.(yoga and kung fu started this way, to help monks to sit longer without deforming their bodies)
as to combat sports, I think of it as a way to honestly interacting with another person&self. cultivating a deep awareness on how one's body really work. hint:it's all about breathing.

evolution&evolutionary psychology, cosmos,science
tree of life is magical, we are relatives of the entire plant&animal kingdom and let's be honest we are only fancy apes, so our brains.

psytrance&trance state, jazz
recently discovered the jazz and I'm hooked. jazz is just another word like tao to me. a word that is beyond the limitation of language.
dancing in trance state is very different than dancing to jazz. I believe dancing to jazz is also a form of jazz, an expression of the self. trance state is more like dancing without the self(ego) and in my opinion isn't dancing at all, more like a fast paced meditation.(like sufi whirling)

nomad lifestyle, hitchiking, nutrition
honestly I'm no nomad but there is something very appealing with the idea. also my native tongue is rooted back to altai mountains and shaped in a nomadic lifestyle in the steppes of asia.

coding,poetry,truth
three things I don't know much about but still love.

power
the state,corporations,top rich society, uniforms, positions of power, human social interactions, social fictions. these are our times reality and interesting to observe yet I would like most of them to vanish for good. I don't know how though.

occasional partying and getting wasted. I know it doesn't go well with what's above but it is what it is.

Music, Movies, and Books

Caotica Ana,Cosmos, point break, who am I are some of my fav movies and big love for Miyazaki.

there is Rick and Morthy, sense8 & black mirrors to name a few

some of my fav. books: Island(might give you euphoria), The Dispossessed, Hitchiker' s Guide to Galaxy, Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates(fun read)
