CURRENT MISSION

To understand the people of the world regardless of the race, color, beliefs or gender... in order to understand myself.

ABOUT ME

Industrial Engineer in Navy.
I finished my master's at UIUC and already returned to Turkey. Now I live in Ankara, with my friend. Because of my work most of the time I'm out of town, but hopefully this will change soon :))

I really love tango dance and music and it's one of my passions in my life.. If you're interested in going to milongas or practices believe me I'm your guide! :)

I enjoy meeting new people, showing them around my city, learning about their lives and sharing experiences. I think this is the core idea of Couchsurfing :))

PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I met CS when I was in South America in Summer-09. I stayed with locals in various locations and all were great experiences for me. I decided to be involved in this community and help the travelers who are coming to my town by offering a couch or a personal guided tour :)
Besides all, I want to share my experiences from the different parts of the world with people as well as I want to hear theirs.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Full of wonderful memories mostly because of the couchsurfing community.
I'm sure that I'll continue when I settle down in my country very soon.
