It is always difficult to describe yourself because you are the person within the observations of the other people so as much as reading my opinions about myself here, you should read references about me or spend some time with me to have an idea :) I think I am an enjoyable guy who likes chatting and doing interesting things. I do like making new friends and sharing a lot. I am also open-minded and outgoing. If there is a job I can do around, I do it with great pleasure. Helping people and seeing the smiles on the faces also make me happy. My motto in life is keep smiling :) I would be glad to receive more personal messages than copy paste messages if you would like to stay with me.

PHILOSOPHY

As working on the area of literature, I apply it to my overall lifestyle that for me life is like a literary work indeed. For this reason I try to enjoy the life living it fully that I take photos a lot to show the world as I see it and do some extreme sports to live the nature fully. Moreover I am interested in the world cultures that one day I'd like to travel all around the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I had heard about couchsurfing very long time ago but I have been experiencing it for a while now :)

I could meet many different people belonging to many different cultures that with each guest or host I learn something new.

Interests

I am a photography addict (http://instagram.com/aliguven15) and love travelling a lot. I also love extreme sports such as paragliding, free diving, scuba diving and snowboarding. My main free time passes with photography activities as an amateur photographer and member of photography clubs. Reading is both my pleasure and subject to my profession. Watching movies is also one of my main hobbies.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like listening to many sorts of music varying from instrumental to rock music. I am writing my PhD thesis on literature and film adaptations that movies are both an academic subject and a source of great pleasure for me. For this reason I have many favourites as books and movies but mainly I love good fictions which are the products of creative minds.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2010 watching the F1 races in Turkey was amazing as the first time for me. Apart from that adrenalin is in the center of my hobbies that I do paragliding which is awesome and do free diving to see the hidden beauties of the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've been taking photos for about 9 years now that I have so much knowledge about photography. Those who would like to stay with me or those who would love to host me can learn some tips about taking good photos in a short time. Moreover as a person who like to talk, I'd help them improve their practice in English with me. I'd also be glad to learn about the cultures my visitors or hosts will belong to.

What I Can Share with Hosts

my culture, my food, my philosophy, my knowledge about anything and my joy of life :)
