I am a Turkmen residing somewhere in Spain depending on when.

I do experimental poetry and drawing. I perpetually hum a song and dance cause my circuitry is wired as suchhh. Lately I decided that I look for beauty. He's got a lust for life which at times burns through him like drugs - and I love meeting people, creating stories, and making life into a work of art.
I tend to be very direct and filterless and I don't plan to change that. Some people take it for rudeness, some for awesomeness. But I don't know... life happens. I love personal hygiene. I think it's an utmost form of self-respect as well as towards other humans.

Ps: I love collabing with creative minds in visual arts, hit me up anytime.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I derive pleasure from newness of others. Whenever I'm about to meet up with a new someone, it feels like I'm about to pluck a treasure chest from mud. Sometimes they're full of shit, but I still keep the thrill of finding it.

Interests

When a friend asked me 3 things I could not live without, I said: books, music and coffee (he was desperate for me to say sex). In other words, being lonely, romanticising life and stimuli.
Share what your 3 things are ! )

• literature

• red wine
• coffee
• music
• hiking
• food
• dance
• clubs
• languages exchange

Music, Movies, and Books

Lana Del Rey. Cigarettes after sex. The neighbourhood. Linkin Park. Evanescence. One Republic. And do admit that Swift is pretty good. I also listen: Turkish, Indian, Turkmen, Arabic, Persian etc.

"Arrival" might be the one. "Joker". Then comes the LOTR and Hobbit trilogies, Interstellar. I also like Bollywood. Capernaum was a strong watch.

Many fav books. But I'm gonna take sides and say that "All the light we cannot see" by Anthony Doerr (I think that man's a little insane). I loved every Elif Shafak book I read so far. And "The Brain" by David Eagleman is also turn-on for my sapiosexual self. And i can't without Elif Shafak. Reading is addiction

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got 3: Outliving my despair. Learning to learn. The poems I wrote.

Teach, Learn, Share

Basics of languages I speak. Vast knowledge of different cultures, histories, religions, and cuisine. And I'm down to learning anything you've got. Every piece of knowledge is to die for, I've heard.
