PHILOSOPHY

''Freedom is what we do ourself of what is done to us'' (J-P Sartre)
Let's be open minded ;)
The borders we see are the borders we create ourself

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My Brother brought me here years from now, He told me that the CS community was a really great experience ! I love couch surfing and couchsurfers, with some experience now i can't tell it's a way to meet people you'd never ever meet in your life another way !

CS community is a way to share life, friendship, experience and all you have,had or haven't had yet !

Interests

I love traveling all around the world with friends and also learn from people some kind of "local way of life".
I can speak some languages like english, spanish, french and i was also learning japanese at university years ago.
And soon i'll be learning croatian too ;)

• traveling
• surfing
• languages

Music, Movies, and Books

Films:
I may go to the cinema once or twice a years, i must say that i'm too ''lazy'' to buy a ticket when two week after it's out you can find it on internet.

I like all kind of film i must say, maybe i'll be bored by some but i can't name them like that.

I just recently watch a old black and white film ''12 angry mens'' ... it's sad to see how old this film is and how much the society did not change at all in the way it's thinking. Very deepfull film thought !

Musics:
I listen to all kind of musics except rap and R&B (and things like that). There is good rap i must admit it but don't try to make me listen to some rap about sex, drugs, police and stuff i won't like it.

I must say that i love to listen to music based en the rhythms but it's hard for me just focus on that. If the lyrics are just poor and repeating again and again i'd prefer to listen to the train to pass

Book:
Well… I'm not a very good reader, but when i do i love to read Arnaldur Indridasson ( a Icelandic writer).

There so esoteric lecture that also changed partially the way i look at the world like ''the four agreement'' by Ruiz which is a book on how toltesques use to see the world and the way we could cure ourself from this personal jail of bad and negative thought.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, i went in Guinea in feb 2013 and i shared so much things with locals !!! I can remember every seconds of my trip there!
It was so .... there's no word for it !
Sharing with others is one of the best things i've ever done

Teach, Learn, Share

I can try to teach you my french (with a preference for oral practice), i could share my young experience from my travels, my life in france or in Belgium...
And i would be glad to learn a lot of things from you, your country and your experience ^^

What I Can Share with Hosts

Ogulcan's reference answer :

First of all, we may not feel the irony, but my place is in fact 1 maybe 2 minute from the train station (and yeah i nearly succeed to be late to come to pick you^^)

Then i'm always funny, if you don't laugh it's that you didn't catch the reference or are just not smart enough to catch it ;)

Ogulcan is a great person but, he can be a little bit simple of mind. Don't blame him, it's his nature. I tried to explain him the differences between American fatty pancake and the original and ancient recipe of the mythical Breton's crêpes. May be Turkish people does not have that culinary sense of taste that is precious and normal to have for french people.

Ogulcan forgot to write some part of his reference (simple mind i told you), so if you don't understand the milk drinking as i don't too that's normal. Moreover, that guy has written a no chronological reference... he can start from the middle and then mix everything... it's was only a weekend man, i don't know how he can be that much unchronological... please forgive that young boy!

Then you made some mistake in the details, but i won't correct it, that's your shit ;)
About the shower, I could expect some respect from a guy who just washed his hair in nearly 3 days, because yes his hair are precious, don't touch it he can bite. He can take like 1hour just to set his hair perfectly like the way it was when he entered the bathroom. We could think he faint in the sink or something but nop' he was really trying to fix it another way which at the end was perfectly the same.

And finally i do have an additional comment, Ogulcan (pronounced ''Olgian''... sound like Olga, a typical blond german girl name)has culinary issues... he tried to trick me while cooking rice and pretending it was turkish rice... until i showed him that rice comes from Asian culture (showed him what riziculture looks like too) and that the ''way he cooked'' it was just putting it in a pan and add a lot of butter ... i even thought he was making a rice cake but i think he was not ... never mind the day after he left i was soooo sick (alimentary poisoning) that i had to go to the doctor !

And Of course you'd have noticed that we did get so good in friendship and all we are just saying all the bad stuff in an ironic way.. but he made a too big mistake on the crêpes that i had to correct that young and ignorant boy !
