About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm learning from you!

ABOUT ME
I left the teaching profession on hold in order to become a Social Worker in a refugee camp.
Merhaba! ;-)

I'm friendly, respectful.
I always say: "a good red wine is a must for a good conversation". So I hope you like talking a lot.

PHILOSOPHY

"Carpe Diem"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here because I want to visit many places: I really like traveling! .. and I want to meet friendly and respectful people who are interested in helping travelers offer a comfortable couch. I expect to learn and understand cultural aspects in order to enrich my profession and knowledge of the world.

Interests

I enjoy listening to music, especially Latin Rock, Ska and reggae. I can also play the piano/keyboard,
I'm learning to play the acoustic guitar.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Honestly I don't know , but I think I've helped a lot of people.

Teach, Learn, Share

As I'm a working in a multicultural setting I feel I have the mission to teach or remind people to be supportive, sympathetic, caring and respectful towards persons who have escaped from their own countries because of wars or dictatorships.

I want to share my professional experiences!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a nice home-made dinner, some good red wine, share my time to show interesting place of the city I'm living in and , of course, I can offer a comfortable couch to sleep and make my guest feel as if he or she is at home!
