About Me

Well, I love the sun, sea, rocks, anything else which creates a landscape :) and also traveling, seeing new places, authentic places, meeting new friends and sharing and exchanging our ideas.
I'm a traveler and a learner with less opportunities that's why, I try my best to maximize the benefit from the opportunities once I have them. I spent my 4 years in Antalya/Turkey which is the place where I grew up and have been growing in that I fight myself to understand myself then to understand others.

Listening has been my popular leisure time activity for years, I listen to people, their stories, their livings and leavings as if I listen to my best songs.

My life is not only my life, it's our life 'cause i wouldn't have valuable memories without you.
and What's more is my choice to be a vegetarian and damage the nature less.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I can book a bed in a hostel, which is the easiest way of accommodation, yet the most dull, reserved and the last option, as well.

I tried several times, but couldn't manage to start a conversation with pillow and mattress and I even asked them to show me around, but they just ignored.

That's the reason why this time I want to talk to people and I'm looking forward to hearing their remarkable, memorable and inspiring stories.

Interests

I'm quite into Table Tennis. I even participated a Table Tennis Tournament in Lithuania (I said "even" because I wasn't expecting it from myself : )
Music is my leading interest.
and when I was in Turkey, I was regularly cycling on main roads, highways between cities, counties on my own. But in abroad I couldn't find any opportunity yet to bicycle.
in Lithuania I tried to do indoor climbing and I love it. It's very struggling and I like to manage with difficulties and find ways to achieve at the end.

Probably I won't be able to answer when you ask me something about music since what I follow and frequently listen to are Anatolian, Mesopotamian and Irish Folk music, and I also listen to other genres but not so often.

Did somebody say "traveling", settling down for a couple of months?
Yesssss, I prefer going a place and settle there, that's why till now I just visited three countries in which I spent my 8 months. I learned their culture, a bit of their language and details hard to see.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

a bay which has a really really nice mountain view, and I went into that mountain by driving a waterbike by myself, after that I climbed at the top of it with my naked feet and look at others who were creating another beautiful view from that point I got.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn other traditions and actually conventional attitudes other cultures obtain in time and now indirectly pulling its members in its blunt and daily bases to initiate those attitudes regularly.

And I can teach what our point of view; how my culture sees the world, how my traditions are compelling us in some certain behaviours.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A nice conversation accompanied by some drinks.
All my knowledge. I do like answering questions. That's why you should ask me questions and questions to learn more and more and I'll be glad to offer you all I know
