Overview
About Me
Basically 169cm, 64kg usually wearing colourful t-shirts and liking to make&drink cocktails a lot x
Tries to run at least 3 days per week but usually fails and goes back to sleeping xD xD (No, I’m not proud of it hahahaha)
In detail:
I’m an engineer (trust me I’m a real engineer, LOL) with industrial&mechanical undergrad background and then data science postgrad, nowadays doing some machine learning things. Idk how it happened, but artificial neural networks (which are sort of a copy of our human-beings neural networks so called neurones) were a part of my job, then somehow I found myself in reading psychology and neuroscience more than doing data stuff or coding.
Nowadays, I work for part time international projects or internships usually based on Istanbul or Commonwealth countries. Basically my future plan is to get my new visa in November or December providing me full time work permission after I pass my last lecture in August or September which explains why I’m doing part time projects (csz I don’t have a full time work permission apart from holidays).
So Helloooooooo :))
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To have a global network and listen to others’ journeys and experiences.
Unfortunately I do not have an extra room for you to accommodate, but have a double bed that we can sleep separately.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I know you wouldn't think it's too much, but the most logical and craziest thing I've ever done was to buy a motorbike. I fall in love with that f*cking devil-invented machine.

What I Can Share with Hosts
I really like to discuss about etymology(specially Old Latinish or Greek), history, sociology and so on. I used to produce techno-music as an amateur. I’ve read the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5-TR) book twice, and been following Andrew Huberman’s “Zero Cost Public Education” neuroscience series&podcasts more than 6 months which all means I’m not a psychologist or scientist (-which I’d like to say that but don’t have a PhD) but really like to talk about these, specifically how the dopamine path works in our neural networks. (And yeah I used myself as a test to see what happened if the dopamine increases instantly, hahahahah. Just joking but I’m sure you know what I meant) Cheers.
