ABOUT ME
I am an activist, volunteer, non-violent direct action trainer, industrial climber of Greenpeace Turkey for last 8 years. I have many different, amazing, and faboulous experiences about all these actions, campaigns and tranings of Greenpeace. Honestly, even if you can criticise Greenpeace in various points of view, I have honestly say that Greenpeace played an improtant role to change my life in good way :)
I studied economics in Turkey. (I don't wanna talk about it :)
But luckyly, afterwards, I gained a scholarship and went to the UK for learning language, doing MA and PhD. I took a pre-master course at School of Oriental and African Studies (its well-known name is SOAS ) for a year in London. It was an amazing experience.
Then, I finished MA Environment Development and Policy at University of Sussex in Brighton in the UK. I do phd in political ecology.
As you saw from my picture, I'm a little bit Maxist I hope you don't mind :)
PHILOSOPHY
A better world is possible...
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
One of my closest friends recently arrived home, he travelled around the Europe without paying anything and he met amazing people just because of CS. That's a great project. And the most improtant point is that it works in practice. You can meet georgous people thanks to the CS.
