About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Better experienced than read about! ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Every moment counts - so seize the day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can host every once in a while, meet up couchsurfers visiting my part of the world, swap stories and experiences, and show them a good time. :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was introduced to the couchsurfing concept a couple of years ago - and i've discovered that it's really cool and convenient! i think its a great way to get a real feel of the place we're travelling to!
My friends and I travelled to Turkey in September 2009 and were really blown away by the generosity of our host Ali in Istanbul.
I believe the world would be a friendlier and more peaceful, and tolerant place if everyone was a couchsurfer!
