Ahoj, welcome to my profile ^.^

It's Bektash from Turkey and currently living in the city which I felt in ❤ Prague. I feel more Citizen of the World and my motto is "My country is the world, and my religion is to do good". I'm currently living and working in Prague, Czechia. I like a healthy lifestyle, food and passionate about art such as drawing, painting, photography, movie, music. I love cooking, smiling and laughing all the time -life is really short to be in bad mood.

My life Philosophy;

"Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.” ---Bruce LEE ***https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYxe6-KWX-M

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

"Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer ;) " said an anonymous person and CS is the most enjoyable way to travel for me. Breaking bias against people we don't know, staying with locals and sharing your experiences, ideas :) I always see CS as a culture of sharing. Sharing place, food, knowledge, etc.

Couchsurfing experiences:
I have joined many CS events ( meeting, Language exchange, food-exchange, putlocks, surfing meeting, city events ( Krakow and Prague ) .....)
I surfed in 20 different cities and I'm hosted more than 70 couchsurfers from 25 different countries.

Music, Movies, and Books

MOVIES;
I think most important thing is perspective and thought of directors ! I don't like categorise anyhing (espically art) because every artist, director have own style!
My favourite directors are; Nuri Bilge Ceylan, Fatih Özpetek, Krzysztof Kieślowski, Park Chan-wook, Quentin Tarantino, Woody Allen, Lars von Trier, Alejandro Amenábar, Ashgar Farhadi, Pedro Almodovar, Wachowski brothers, Coen brothers, Steve Mcqueen, Andrej Tarkovsky, Akira Kurosawa, ...

MUSIC,
My favourite musicians are; Barış Manço, Loreena Mckennit, Coldplay, The Cranberries, Foals, Pink Floyd, Emma Shaplin, Kitaro, One Republic, Deep Forest, Night Wish, Morrisey, Nirvana, HIM, Can Atilla, Goran Bregovic, Yanni, A.R Rahman, Hans Zimmer, .....

BOOK,
Speech (Mustafa Kemal ATATÜRK), The Fur Coated Madonna (Sabahattin Ali), Crime and Punishment (Dostoyevski), Çalıkuşu-goldcrest (Reşat Nuri Güntekin), Of Mice and Men (John Steinbeck), Miserables (Victor Hugo), Transformation (Franz Kafka), Notes from Underground (Dostoyevski) , White Fang (Jack London),
Hey attentive person, I wanted to add catchword here to find out who's reading my profile and who's sending copy + paste request, because I believe Couchsurfing more than free accommodation. Especially add book section because it's relevant to read ;) So, If you add "Rupicapra" to your message before sending a request then I'm grateful to you :)
