About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To write stories on the pages of my passport.

ABOUT ME

I'm a cosmopolitan person who loves reading books, running, dancing, walking and obviously traveling. Usually I travel alone wherever I go and it gives me a sense of immense freedom. One of my main purposes in this life is to meet as many people as possible. I believe every person you meet and communicate with touches your life, changes you, it gives and also takes from you and makes you maturer, as life itself.

Currently I work in Istanbul as a City Planner and do my best not to lose the travel spirit by escaping the city in every single chance.

PHILOSOPHY

In order to change the world, you must firstly start with yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have mostly (couch)surfed when I traveled and also participated in many CS events. But I have hosted rather few times. I am glad that I can host travelers now as I've got a room and a free couch perfect to crash on.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CS gave me the opportunity to meet a lot of great and unique people be it during the meetings or trips. It also gave me most of my unforgettable and crazy experiences.

  • wandering
  • wild camping

Music, Movies, and Books

Love rock and classical music, maybe it is unusual, but I really love both of them. Rock makes feel energetic when I'm tired or in bad mood. But to be honest, I love classical music a lot more. Cause when I listen to it, I enjoy every second of it and imagine very unique stuff in my mind.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling 1200 km alone at one time by only hitchhiking and camping on different spots throughout Western Turkey.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am mostly enthusiastic about learning, to be honest. But without doubt, I'd be happy to teach what I know to people who're interested.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My hosts will have the opportunity to exchange experiences and knowledge with me about many things. People tell me that I'm a good listener and at the same time, I have good conversation and debate skills.
I am also an enthusiastic language learner and have knowledge in quite a handful of languages.
