I am Anil, a backpacker from Turkey. I am a travel addict, full of wanderlust. I was born and grew up in Ankara, the capital city of Turkey. Then I moved to Istanbul for college and have been living there for the last seven years. Currently, I am doing my second Erasmus in Łódź, Poland. (First was in Copenhagen, Denmark)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

As I love travelling and meeting new people, I would be happy to do both at the same time.

兴趣

I love backpacking, especially to the places that are famous with their natural beauty. Even when I am visiting modern city centres, the places I like to see most are parks with lots of green. Also, I like hiking.

In the free time that I have left from travelling, I dance. I love international latin dances (although not so particularly good at it :)) I dance for my university and try to do my best. Cha-cha and Jive are my favourite dances.

In addition to all those, photography is my most recent hobby. I always had an interest in taking good quality pictures and express myself with the harmony of colors and the light and now, I started to take it more seriously and do some effort to improve my skills on it.

And I am eager to meet new people and learn about their story. People are awesome.

音乐、电影和书籍

I have a wide variety of taste in music. I love rock (mainly oldschool), hard rock and metal music the most but it does not mean that I would not enjoy pop, pop-rock, some indie from time to time.

AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, Rainbow, Queen, Blind Guardian, Iced Earth, Gamma Ray, Helloween, Megadeth, Manowar to just name a few.

The kind of movies I enjoy are usually the ones with complex fiction/scenarios and some plots twists in it. As for the genre, my favoutire is psychological thriller and hard sci-fi but I do watch almost everything as long as it is some good quality work. Also, Stanley Kubrick is my all-time-favourite director.

V for Vendetta, Fight Club, The Shining, Full Metal Jacket, Clockwerk Orange, Wicker Park, The Others, Das Experiment, American History X are some good examples for the movies I like.

When it comes to book genres, my absolute favourite is dystopia. Besides than that, I read classics from the literatures of different countries and some fantasy fiction/science fiction on occasion. Last but not the least, I love comics. (I stopped reading mainstream superhero comics a while ago though)

1984, Animal Farm, Fahrenheit 451, Brave New World, Slaughterhouse-Five, A Wizard of Earthsea, V for Vendetta, Watchmen, Sandman are some of my favorite literature pieces while Neil Gaiman, Alan Moore, Kurt Vonnegut would be some of the authors I like.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I have participated to Macau International Youth Dance Festival in 2014 as a dancer, which allowed me to travel to China and have a one-week holiday with full expenses covered by the organizing company. Considering that I had a student budget at that time and would never had been able to go to the Far East with anything else, that was such an amazing accomplishment for me.

教，学，和分享

I am curious about new cultures, different traditions and lifestyles. I'd love to learn about those and share the same. Also, I can show some dishes from Turkish cuisine :)
