About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I don´t know what to write here. My current misson is that I am 22 years old and want to know as much countries cities and people as possible.

ABOUT ME

I am adventurous, friendly , easy to go with, open minded. Since I am a mechanical engineering student, I got interested in details of every issue, no matter if it hasn´t any connection to my study field. Topics like psychology and physics are most interesting topical thems for me.
I have got a motorcycle, so I spend a lot of my freee time with riding through the city.

PHILOSOPHY

meeting new people and no risk no fun

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am traveling a lot on my own, so I am looking for meeting interesting people at cities/countries I visit. Another reason is, that I am a very open minded guy, so I like hanging around with new people from all around the world and having conversations about the world and our future.

Interests

I am really into photography. I like to photograph everything I see. Actually I am doing doing a photo project at my university. It is called "Gesichter der TU Berlin (Faces of TU Berlin)". It´s about interviewing students, staff and professors of my school and doing a portrait of them. Even though I am a mechanical engineering student, every seems to be surprised that I am doing such a social project. :)

If you´re interested, just have a look at www.gesicherdertub.blogspot.de (also on Facebook: Gesichter der TU Berlin).

Music, Movies, and Books

MOVIES

Besides Comedy I like every kind of movie with plot twists. It is quite exciting to watch a movie for almost two hours and understand the whole story in the last five minutes.

MUSIC

I have no special interests in music. I like everything which sounds good (Rock: e.g. The Black Keys; no Hard Rock, because it is too stressful).
I keep distance to turkish music because I have the same origin. It´s horrible when you were raised with that music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Blind restaurant in Berlin (eating in a restaurant which is completely dark, so you can't see anything at all and only smell and taste your meal).
Driving by motorcycle through whole Vietnam from North(2000km) to south for 4 weeks. So. Many adventures on my way.

Teach, Learn, Share

TEACH

I am a professional in Computer-Aided-Design (CAD), that´s why I am a teaching assistant at my university in this subject. I can do amazing modeling things with that program, also for non-engineering purposes.

LEARN
I would like to learn Chinese, because I am going to live in Shanghai for six month. Meeting and photographing native people in villages of china will be quite difficult if there is no ambassador.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My cheap traveling experiences in Asia and many many contacts and stories in China.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Belgium, Cambodia, China, Czech Republic, England, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Japan, Poland, Spain, Thailand, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, Viet Nam

Countries I’ve Lived In

China, Germany
