Overview
About Me
Hello fellow travelers!
I was born in Istanbul but living in Çanakkale more than 6 years. Studying Mathematics. So you can count me as a crazy person. :P
I am a person who can travel at every opportunity. My trip plans are usually not planned but spontaneous. I enjoy traveling alone or only with a person, not as a group.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I wasn't really a social media person. I just started using Instagram. My facbook account has not been active for 10 years. I didn't even use whatsapp. And actually I was happy with this.
I visited almost every country in Europe without using Couchsurfing. And to confess, Couchsurfing is the only platform I've regretted not using in social media. It's a little late, but that's why I'm here. :)

My favorite quote:
“Throughout my life I have seen, without one exception, narrow-shouldered men performing innumerable idiotic acts, brustalising their fellows, and corrupted souls by every means. They call the motive for their actions: fame. Seeing these exhibitions I’ve longed to laugh, with the rest, but that strange imitation was impossible. Taking a penknife with a sharp-edged blade, I slit the flesh at the points joining the lips. For an instant I believed my aim was achieved. I saw in a mirror the mouth ruined at my own will! An error! Besides, the blood gushing freely from the two wounds prevented my distinguishing whether this really was the grin of others. But after some moments of comparison I saw quite clearly that my smile did not resemble that of humans: the fact is, I was not laughing.”
―Les Chants de Maldoror, Comte de Lautréamont
