Hi,

I'm Olly. I was born in Turkey and lived in England for many years. Recently finished a nine months travel in South America and now I'm in Alanya ( Turkey). I love the idea of meeting new people and sharing experiences, swapping life stories and diving into deep conversations about space, psychedelics, consciousness, eastern philosophies, shamanism, music, movies etc. (anything interesting basically).

I love reading about psychology, philosophy and spirituality. I like being close to ocean, going for a walk on the beach under the stars and the full moon, listening to interesting podcasts, trying ethnic food, playing with cats, skipping rocks on the lakes, wandering around the streets in foreign countries and get lost, cycling, playing drums, skating, playing table tennis, surfing (even though I'm not wonderful at it...yet) etc. etc..

People who inspire me the most are: Terence McKenna, Eckhart Tolle, Alan Watts, Russell Brand, and Osho.

I'm always up for adventures and open to new ideas! Life is an ultimate adventure!

Peace and blessings!
