ABOUT ME

I like to travel, party, write, play, read, share, or just simply do!

PHILOSOPHY

I live for knowing more..
Everyday I just expect to experience something new and hope to feel that I'm wiser than yesterday..
& I don't like boring people. Just a waste of time to be around them. So, be fun!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I met & surfed with many couchsurfers while I was travelling and had amazing experiences. Also hosted many people as you can see from my friends and references..

Interests

Travelling, one day I want to leave a mark on every country. Be in so many places others haven't been..
Books, reading while travelling, while raining..
Theatre, used to act, now just watching..
I also like to party and karaoke. On weekends and sometimes during the week you can hear me saying ``Let's go to karaoke or let's go to this techno party``
If you want to discover the secret night life of Amsterdam, I am your guy ;)

Kubrick (Watched all of his movies)
Zeki Demirkubuz (Best Turkish director)
Fatih Akin (Perfect mix of cultures)
Lars Von Trier (Dogme 95 movement is inspiring)

Michael Haneke (If you wanna feel horror in your brain)

Books:
